Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Vintage 1930 - Illustrated - Translated by Arthur Edward Smith M.D. - Revised and Edited by Brainbridge Crist. "A mastery of the principles set forth in this work is absolutely essential to the proper pronunciation of every language in singing. "I do not know of a surer way to gain a mastery over this complex subject than by the study of this treatise; and since tone production so largely depends upon speech it behooves every student to acquire perfect diction. "Unless certain requirements are complied with in the functioning of all the organs concerned with speech it is utterly impossible to produce a good tone. When vocal teachers and students become fully awake to this fact there will be a diminution of the overwhelming proportion of dismal failures." Brainbridge Crist. In Very Good Condition.
