Publisher's Synopsis
(MGB). Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851) was a respected opera composer and voice teacher in the Italian bel canto tradition. This edition is a modern rendering of the manuscript of his vocal method, and includes exercises in intonation, interval singing, vocal flexibility, delivery, and expression. "This volume brings to light for the first time the teaching method of Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851), composer, conductor, and teacher with a deep knowledge of singing...This method would be excellent for training singers who expect to perform classical repertoire of some difficulty. Even if this is not the goal of the singer, the method is a direct and clear approach to developing both the voice and the musicianship of the student."-- Journal of Singing
