Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book cogently explores the development of modern singing techniques, revealing their connection to the Old Italian School and the rich history of the art form. It thoroughly examines the major scientific innovations surrounding vocal function, including the role of the vocal chords and breathing methods, that inform present-day techniques. The author draws on the approaches of notable figures like Crescentini, Lablache, Farinelli, and Porpora to illustrate the evolution of vocal instruction and highlight the enduring principles underlying effective singing.
