| | A Treatise on the Art of Singing |
 | | The first and principle lesson to be attended to in Singing is the Solfeggio. |
 | | Therefore if the Pupil compares the voice above these notes with the voice below them, he will distinctly perceive the difference, but the greatest care should be observed to cause these notes to fall so imperceptibly into each other that the junction may not strike harshly on the ear. |
 | | The frequent excercise of the voice is highly necessary to every Singer, and the Solfeggio which I shall now have the honour to submit, (presented to me in part by Rossini, Meyerbeer, Reghini, Maijocchi, Zirelli, Zingerelli, and Generali,) will, I trust, be productive of improvement to the Pupil. |
