Principle 4: The author recommends reciting with a pleasant voice. This follows the preceding discussion on melody: beauty of delivery must not distort a consonant, short vowel, or prescribed length.
The practical order is correct articulation first, natural vocal beauty second. One may recite a passage gently, but that gentle tone must not erase the qualities of ص or inadvertently lengthen a short vowel. Good recitation joins accurate text with appealing delivery.
