"Technically difficult" statement: Can some soprano confirm whether this sentence taken from the article is logical? "Knoxville is not regarded as being technically difficult (for instance, the highest B-flat is to only be hit piano)" I'm a tenor, not a soprano, but the statement in parentheses doesn't corroborate the main statement for me. Singing piano, if anything, would make the B-flat harder, not easier. Even if it were a little easier, having a B-flat as the highest note doesn't at all suggest that the piece is not technically difficult. Maybe it makes sense for sopranos though. --66.240.10.170 21:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piano high B flats

I agree with you, singing a high B flat piano or pianissimo is a thousand times harder than singing it loud. I disagree with the authors opinion that this peice is not technically difficult.
