35:19 just to clarify, the pitches of the harmonics are NOT an octave higher than written, they are the pitch written, these harmonics are written with an 'o' above the note, meaning they are the pitch written, they may be different if they were written as diamond head notes!

At 40:00 the Tenor sings the following 2 phrases one Second lower than written.

The essence of this three
Movements were not explained. For me this introduction makes no sense because the element of the text is too less considered. And last but not least: A little bit humour could help. It was a very dry and too academic lesson.
