I used to like to sing Donnor's aria to the clouds.

"Heda! Heda Hedo!
Donner, Der Herr, ruft euch zu hier!"

Also Wotan's Farewell from Die Walkure. I cannot sing F₄ and G₄ with power, regardless how I work at the passaggio. But my bottom end is special. I can sing musically to C₀, and with some power to F₀.



My hands are not what I'd like. I wish I had a bigger reach. I can play tenths quietly. But I have no explanation for looseness of my wrists, or independent dexterity of my fingers. For example, listen to ths bA Polonaise.





My lh octaves in the E major section are kind of a nervous impulse in one circuluar motion starting on E and then sliding the hand in one circular drop motion down #D #C to B, then lifting in a slight lift drop roll back to the E and repeating. The wrist never tired. The result was pianissimo, legato y molto allegro. I can still do that, and haven't heard anyone else do it that way either. I believe Josef Lhevinne did, and I emulated what I heard when he played it, and from what Rosina Lhevinne said of it.

My thirds were pretty remarkable too.
