For the Aria, the professor suggests taking greater care with all the notes so that none disrupts the atmosphere of mystery. It is almost better not to sing too much or try to do too many things, but rather to maintain a sense of restraint without doing anything that breaks that misty ambiance.
The opening phrase is very long; he recommends looking further ahead rather than at each individual note, in order to create more discourse and musical direction.
In the section with repeated notes, he recommends greater variety in them, seeking different characters so that they are not all the same, and this is achieved primarily through more vibrato and dynamic interplay. They are like cries that build in intensity and then subside. The student must express this character more fully in some way, not only focusing on the notes but on telling the story with expressiveness, playing certain notes with greater freedom and imagination, and also attending to the dialogue with the piano.
