An Investigation Of Italian Singing Practices Of The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, George C. White

Graduate Student Research Papers

Many contemporary documented sources have substantiated the claims of earlier scholars that singing in the eighteenth century reached such a high point of skill and virtuosity that it has never since been equaled.

J. S. Bach's Use Of Vocal Ornamentation, John A. Melrose

Graduate Student Research Papers

In view of some misconceptions concerning the reading of these ornamental symbols, a study of how to interpret them accurately seems of value.

Bach's embellishments should obviously be treated according to Baroque practice.
