I knew you'd appreciate my Gustav sorting. BTW, I noticed that when Gertrud Elisabeth Mara Schmeling writes about her fellow singers in her memoirs, she writes about the castratos (Porporino, Salimbene), never about the tenors. Now this might just be a sign of the (about to shift) musical landscape of the times - Castrato voices are still importannt when teenage Mozart writes his first operas, but in adult Mozart's operas, they're no longer an element around which the opera is built - but it could also be she shares your opinion on tenors!
MT arguing with the hat like Harry did because of how she sees herself, with the same result: quite likely, agreed.
