HOW TO CREATE ATMOSPHERE 49
You have heard me sing the song, and you understand why, when singing, I smoke a cigarette, and you understand why I have chosen as music for this song the air of a popular waltz, a favorite of cabarets and dancing halls.
I am giving the song half singing, half reciting. You are under the impression that you hear the strains of a gipsy band.
You have not only the atmosphere of the song. You have, I may say, almost the atmosphere of the woman's soul pictured outwardly in every line, in every detail, by her lips keeping the cigarette, by her eyes, by her hands, by her arms . . . provocation . . . sensuality . . . perversity.
