Excerpt from The World's Best Music, Vol. 9: The Musician's Guide (Part I) In piano, the chief emphasis of the present is placed on the Leschetizky method. This is fully described in the following pages, but an account is added of other methods now in use which are also celebrated. In singing, a condensation from a number of books is included The Art of Singing which aims to give a bird's-eye view of the whole subject. NO absolute rule can be laid down for singing study. In taking up piano, the student's problem is simply one of using hands and fingers that are much like those of every one else. But with voices there are much greater differences to be found. One pupil starts with a nasal tone, another with a throaty tone, still another perhaps with too much wasted breath. AS each Of these cases must be differently treated in certain ways, an attempt has been made, in the section on Faults in Sing ing, to indicate the proper procedure. There will also be found here a short account of certain points in violin-playing. This, it is hoped, will be of use to all students.
