Agricola published Introduction to the Art of Singing in Germany in
1757, consisting of the 1723 treatise of the Italian singing
teacher and castrato, Tosi, to which Agricola added his own running
commentary. The Introduction was recognized as invaluable not only
for teachers and their pupils but also for advanced singers and
professionals. This present edition, translated with introduction
and annotations by the celebrated singer Julianne Baird, makes
Agricola's work available for the first time in English. Tosi's
work was the first basic treatise on singing; Agricola, a pupil of
J.S. Bach at the court of Frederick the Great, brought Tosi's work
"up-to-date." His commentaries are so extensive that the
Introduction stands on its own as an important document in the
history of performance practice.
