Excerpt from Practical and Theoretical Esperanto: A Handy Textbook for Beginners and Advanced Students, for Selfinstruction and Teaching Purposes; Containing Elementary Grammar, Formation of Words, Complete Syntax and Exercises

In regard to the vowels the author distinguishes strictly two points, the quantity and the quality. The quantity is the time required for the pronunciation of a vowel it may be long, medium, or short. The quantity is not an essential point of the vowel. The quality depends on the form which the mouth must assume for the pronunciation of the vowel. The quality is essential. By changing the quantity the vowel remains the same, only the duration of the pronunciation is changed. By changing the quality an entirely different vowel is obtained. Quantity and quality are independent of each other, that is, it is possible, although sometimes a little difficult, to pro nounce any vowel long, medium, or short.
