Sopranist?
editThe article lists "sopranist" as voice types. Mozart obviously wrote for castrati, not countertenors, but I'm under the impression that Ascanio is written for a castrato alto. Can someone find out if it was for a castrato alto or soprano and fix it? John Holly 23:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the original performers (Giovanni Manzoli, Adamo Solzi) were men, so Sopranist seems correct. OTOH, the NME score lists the role of Ascanio as Mezzo-soprano and Fauno as Soprano. I will try to combine these two voicetypes into the existing table. Michael Bednarek 02:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sopranist is a soprano countertenor. Mozart used either castrati or women in trouser - the question is which. John Holly 18:54, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- I thought I answered that question above: castrati. Obviously, that's not a voice type available today. I'm going to change the article's table similar to what's shown in Giacomo Meyerbeer's Il crociato in Egitto. Michael Bednarek 02:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

editI reverted the edit by 62.47.129.192 (talk · contribs) because:
- She sorted links to other languages by their abbreviation; they should be sorted by their full name.
- She mangled the Polish link.
- She dropped the French link.
She also introduced the German link, which I kept. Michael Bednarek 01:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
