Fermata question
Should the pausa (fermata) in the voice part at bar 126 be on a crotchet (quarter) rest to be the same as in the instrumental parts, or is it OK as it is? (
= 96)

Re: Fermata question
Two quarter rests seems clearer to me. I'm pretty sure Arnstein would have done it that way since he wanted exact correspondence of fermatas between all the parts including within cues.

Re: Fermata question
I try to make all pauses land at the same spot... saves much time and effort in rehearsal.

Re: Fermata question
Like this then? The direction col canto allows the singer some freedom immediately after the pausa. The first bar of the next system is marked giusto.

Re: Fermata question
Looks good to me. And Arnstein probably would have put the col canto vocal part in the other parts as a cue.

Re: Fermata question
Though, for a moment, I thought the articulations over the quaver might also be a type of fermata...!
Re: Fermata question
Exactly. The fermata is precisely on the second beat, starting and finishing there. There is no fermata on the first beat, therefore the rest (in the vocal part) is forced to be split into twoJohn Ruggero wrote: ↑13 Feb 2024, 20:53 Two quarter rests seems clearer to me.
