CARUSO. FUCITO, Salvatore. & BEYER, Barnet J. - Caruso and the Art of Singing.

Fredrick A. Stokes Company, Second Printing, 1922. Hardcover. Caruso "...devised exercises - which are included in the book - that reveal a remarkable insight into what is required to make the singing voice agile and flexible. And the vowels he employed to blend and color his tones demonstrate that even his tone mastery was conditioned by his directing intelligence. Two considerations have prompted me to write this book on Enrico Caruso's art: first, the desire to pay my tribute to the memory of a friend and a great artist; and, second, the hope that I could pass on to all who are concerned with the art of singing Caruso's methods in breathing and producing tones, his vocal exercises and his views on vocal technique, his ideals of singing as well as his practical advice to singers. I have dwelt on his life only in so far as it was closely related to his art, and I have essayed to set down some of the recollections he was so fond of telling". B/W photo of Caruso set to front cover. Music exs. B/W plates. Fraying and tears to ends of spine, small mark to front cover, corners rubbed, pencilling, foxing to frontispience tissue-guard, prev. owner's name to titlepage, overall fair. 219pp.
