An Die Musik:Diction Tutorial I

[ZeevRoizman]

Hi, Dog! Thanks so much. Could you, please, read "Erlkonig" (type g"u"gle) and there's the lyric. And from Wagner's "Tannhauser" - O du mein holder Abendstern

Thanks, dog from the bottom of the heart

Zeev.

let me work on the Wagner a bit first. :)

Thank you,

Users should note that the 'v' in 'wieviel' is pronounced as an 'f', not as a 'v' as in this video and some of the 'o' vowels are americanised.

@LeonConrad

You know....you are correct . Thank you for pointing that out. Sometimes my German "v"s come out with not enough "f"

Thanks,

@bigdogdeuce

The same goes for your "z"'s , by the way, such as in "entzunden", or "Seufzer". There almost needs to be some spitting side effect, haha. Otherwise, your pronounciation is very good for a foreign speaker, though some vowel pronounciations are somewhat off.

Thank you so much! I love this song, I want to sing it one day.

Your diction tutorials have been very helpful to me. Any chance you could do one for Schubert's Seligkeit? I want to learn that piece too, and it seems to be pretty popular here as well.
