The Introduction was recognized as invaluable not only for teachers and their pupils but also for advanced singers and professionals. This present edition, translated with introduction and annotations by the celebrated singer Julianne Baird, makes Agricola's work available in English. Tosi's work was the first basic treatise on singing; Agricola, a pupil of J. S. Bach at the court of Frederick the Great, brought Tosi's work 'up to date'. His commentaries are so extensive that the Introduction stands on its own as an important document in the history of performance practice. 410 0$aCambridge musical texts and monographs. 606 $aSinging 606 $aPerformance practice (Music)$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aSinging. 615 0$aPerformance practice (Music) 676 $a783/.043 700 $aTosi$b Pier Francesco$fapproximately 1653-1732,$01016470 702 $aAgricola$b Johann Friedrich$f1720-1774, 702 $aBaird$b Julianne 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248127703316 996 $aIntroduction to the art of singing$92378394 997 $aUNISA
