Yes Sherman, a local venue can indeed be a professional scene if you prefer to misunderstand me on purpose.
First you said:
>For those interested and doing a recital with Soprano, there are arrangements of Parto Parto for piano accompaniment. Goes very well with Shepherd.<
Then I said:
>"Parto ma tu ben mio" is written for a mezzo-soprano and "Shepard on the rock" for a soprano. Singers who can do both very well are rare animals.<
The reason for saying this is that professional singers usually avoid interfering on each others territory if they are not exceptionally talanted and feel absolutely confident and are publically accepted singing a broad repertoire.
Then you said:
>I have performed the two mny times, and I have also performed the Schubert with a great tenor. It was super, (even though his German was not). Historically,as long as the performer can perform the aria, it happens, and things do and have been transposed . Even clarinetists transpose.
If the high B for the soprano(immediately prior to the allegro) is not available on the night , what happens?<
I can't believe you are discribing a professional venue here if his German was poor, it was a tenor (for reasons mentioned above) and hypothetically if the high B don't come out as expected it's no good for everybody is waiting for it.
I just don't get a feeling that this concert was very seriously meant. And what other classical/romantic chamber music pieces would be transposed at a serious professional venue like Alice Tully Hall or Carnegie Hall, Brahms violin sonatas, Beethoven string quartets?
That's why I said:
>At very local venues this might be true but never in the professional scene.<
I'm not trying to attack you Sherman, I'm only expressing an opinion, sir. But for that matter, we might have different experiences, and that's ok too.
