Finck, in the New York Evening Post. “An invaluable handbook for the singer who looks upon his art as a means of ennobling the taste of mankind and of bestowing happiness, and who is willing to work. In it the eminent prima donna tells freely and clearly all that she has learned about singing in the course of a long and remarkable career.†Preface:It were well if pupils, yes and professional singers, too, were conscious of just one thing, that the singing tone is to be found in the resonance of one’s own body, in the chest and the head resonances, and not in the auditorium into which the singer strives solely to project his breath to produce big tones. Our body is simultaneously the instrument and the resonance box upon which we have to learn to play, Our muscles are the strings which we must learn to tune, tighten and loosen, one to the other, and our soul is the director of our art. As the pipes of an organ, through their form and air pressure, give that instrument the possibility of endless variations in tone, range, and means of expression, so we, too, must create for our tones and ranges living forms with our vocal organs and resonances. As a clock is would to set all parts of the work in action, so we singers must put together all our cooperative organs and muscles into a well-joined instrument, set it in action, and keep it in activity. In the shortest song, the shortest phrase, we have to remake our instrument a thousand times over and keep it going, for the slightest inattention or the slightest injury to the form – which is apt to happen in the pronunciation- is liable to mutilate the artistically set instrument or its tone coloring. Our Vocal art is a marvel just as our instrument is one, and a beautiful human voice which is so blessed as to be able to give forth that which stirs our hearts is an incomparable, glorious marvel. We singers are in duty bound to become closely acquainted with this instrument in order to serve humanity with an ideal art. -Lilli Lehmann. 1922.
