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.

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.
