Recent changes to the soprano article
I reverted your changes to the soprano pages for several reasons. First, the system used in the voice type articles divides women's voices into three parts: soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto. The term alto is used only in choral music and is not really a voice type (it is not used in context of solo singing within classical music). This is standard practice in vocal pedagogical circles and the opera world. Second, your information is just plain wrong. The upper part of the soprano register is essential in classifying voices as it sepperates mezzo-sopranos from sopranos. Also, several very famous sopranos such as Jessye Norman, Renee Fleming, and Joan Sutherland had or have performance ranges down to those low alto notes. In these cases, the women are viewed as sopranos because of there upper note capabilities. Voice classification takes a look at several factors: vocal weight, vocal timbre, vocal flexibility, as well as vocal range in determining voice type. Range is really only one facet of classification. I would suggest reading the voice type article. And these pages are very well cited and have been the product of much discussion among various projects related to music.Broadweighbabe (talk) 18:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, you should be careful to maintain well established Wikipedia principles, e.g. to bold the subject in the lead (see MOS) and to source any assertions you make (Citing sources). Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
