Marcella Sembrich
Hi Izzypaz! I have a question regarding this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=981817611 You said: "She is known for her extensive range of two and a half octaves." Do you have a cite, not for the range itself, but for the fact that she was known for it, or it was considered extensive? (I couldn't tell if the two pre-existing references at the end of the sentence were meant to cover that, as I don't have access to either.) I ask because some friends of mine (one of them herself a soprano, with a larger range than that) saw the article, and noted that this is not actually a super impressive range (at least in the modern era.) I can find her range given elsewhere, but I only see one other source for the claim that it was considered extensive / that she was known for it, which is https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Marcella+Sembrich. However, that article says it is sourced from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, which seems to have been at least partly propaganda, and not likely a very neutral source. (That in turn has a citation to a source I don't have access to.) Do you have another source for this, or would you be willing to remove it if not?
