Interesting to see, a few years ago, the Transition from G & S to Mozart,
by Valerie Masterson.  Princess Ida was once performed by an amateur group
in Kent (UK), where, since the excellent tenor had a stammer, his dialogue
was set to music, thus becoming recititive.It was very effective suprising
how problems disappear in usic.  One of the friends I used to accompany
(played a wooden flute, lovely) had a dreadful speech impediment.  But
played the flute fluently.(no pun intended:-).
