WHY GALLI.CURCI FLATS.

Musical Editor of THE SuN-Sir: II
was with exceeding interest that I
read your article OF Sunday. February
8, concerning the reason why Galli-Curci
sings fiat. For the past year ! have
closely followed your criticism with
pleasure and qualification. In this ar
ticle. however, you state that her breath
control. or. rather. lack of breath con-
troll. Is the reason for her singing fiat.
Permit me to contradict this statement.
I have been closely associated with
Nine. CALI Curci since the very begin
ming OF her career. Not only her en-
trance into my. family at that particular
time. but having been her coach for
many years permits me TO speak know
ingly.
There are two reasons why a voice
might fiat. First, lack OF correct ear
ard. second, salse tone production.
Nine. Galli-Curci has a true ear; she
knows when she fats. Mime, CALI
Curcis tone production is sometimes a,
fault. She has voice which has had
an exaggerated natural facility. WheI
she became conscious Of possessing THU

the lavish expenditures In bringing

Nevertheless I am losing faith IN
the high artistic standard business;
for. ask, is It not true that there
has been for several years now q
cheapening process in iessening tho
cost Of performances by reducing

Thus many Metropolitan produc-
