How to Sing [Meine Gesangskunst]: Mastering Vocal Techniques for Opera and Beyond

In "How to Sing [Meine Gesangskunst]," Lilli Lehmann, a prominent soprano and pedagogue of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, encapsulates her profound insights into vocal technique and artistry. The book is both a personal narrative and a practical guide, employing a clear, didactic style that blends theoretical knowledge with experiential wisdom. Written at a time when the boundaries of operatic performance were being redefined, Lehmann's work situates itself within a tradition of vocal pedagogy while also challenging conventions of her era, reflecting her evolution as a performer and educator in a male-dominated field. Her attention to the physicality of singing, emotional expression, and psychological aspects of performance offers a holistic approach to vocal training. Lilli Lehmann, born in 1848, was not only a celebrated singer but also a teacher whose influence spanned generations. Her extensive stage experience and engagements in major opera houses across Europe provided her with a wealth of knowledge, which she distilled into this comprehensive guide. The challenges and triumphs she faced as a woman in the performing arts industry during a time of burgeoning modernism deeply informed her teaching philosophy, making her insights particularly relevant. This book is invaluable for aspiring singers, voice teachers, and anyone interested in the art of vocal performance. Lehmann'Äôs expertise bridges the gap between technical skill and artistic expression, making "How to Sing" a mandatory addition to the library of those dedicated to mastering the vocal arts.
