The memoirs of Mathilde Marchesi (1821 – 1913), a German mezzo-soprano, a renowned teacher of singing, and a proponent of the bel canto vocal method. Marchesi is not remembered for her singing career. Rather, she is known first and foremost as the teacher of a surprising number of great singers, and also as the person who carried the bel canto technique into the 20th century. Her ideas are still studied, primarily by female singers, especially those with voices in the soprano range, in which Marchesi had specialized.
