Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Are good voices less numerous now than in former years? Is there any dearth of scientific and practical treatises on the production and training of the voice? Is there any lack of competent teachers? I answer that there is no scarcity either of good voices, of excellent printed methods, or of thoroughly capable teachers. Nevertheless, a highly cultivated and artistic singer is nowadays but rarely found. What is the cause of this? I affirm that the principal cause is found in a disposition to curtail the labour and lessen the time which perfected study absolutely demands. While instrumental performers take it as a matter of course that they must laboriously practise for years in order to gain a complete command over the mechanical difficulties of their respective instruments, would-be singers seldom realise the fact that they must endure a training at least as long, careful, and patient in order that the human voice may be used with skill, judgment, and artistic effect. To attain this result it is necessary that both professor and student should make up their minds to begin at the beginning, and thoroughly to master each of the difficulties which successively present themselves in a systematic course of study. The simple, fundamental principles of the only true art of emitting and fixing the voice in singing are most difficult both to teach and to acquire ;but they are vitally important, because to neglect them at the outset is necessarily to impair the beauty, purity, and resonance of the vocal tones. These primary rules I shall endeavour to explain in concise and intelligible language, purposely avoiding the use of diagrams and of technical expressions which would require special scientific knowledge on the part of the reader, and be, moreover, incompatible with the modest aims and proportions of a primer. All who are competent to teach the art of producin
