About this book
Pier Francesco Tosi, a singer who spent most of his life travelling and listening to the finest singers of Europe, set down his judgments of old and modern singing in a treatise first printed at Bologna in 1723. J. E. Galliard translated it into English with explanatory notes and music examples, for instrumental players as well as singers.
By "ancient" Tosi means singers of thirty or forty years before; by "modern," the singers of his own day. A prefatory discourse gives an account of his life, including his years in England.
