Ebook Caruso's Method of Voice Production

This work, dedicated to him in the last days of his life, was conceived as the faithful interpretation of his perfect and rare singing. For over a decade and a half, I had the privilege of associating with the great artist, not only in the capacity of medical adviser but in the intimacy of a wonderful friendship, and his singing was to me a constant guide and inspiration in my investigations of the many problems of the human voice and vocal art. By closely observing his method of singing, I saw the correct application by the master himself of the natural laws governing the mechanism of voice pro duction, and I had the opportunity, by testing his ideas and principles, of ascertaining that they con formed with those I have developed in the scientific part of this book. As a modest wreath of admiration and friendship I lay this work on the grave of the great artist.
