Reri Grist locates the aria in the whole opera and talks about the correct tempo. The Professor also gives some recommendations to the student: she has not to press the throat in high pitches and to keep always the phrasing shape as a curve, round as an arch. Moreover, Grist explains the correct way to place low pitches.
Finally, Grist advises the student to have a class with Teresa Berganza and learn the text properly. It is very important that the student knows exactly what she wants to do in every moment.
