Transcriber’s Note.
The original print of this book uses Helmholtz pitch notation,where middle-C is represented by a lowercase c with one over-line,the C above with two over-lines, etc. For accessibility, I haveused the alternative convention of using numbers after the notename, thus:
C1 … C … c d e f g a b c1 d1 e1 f1 g1 a1 b1 c2 … c3 … c4
(C1 = 3 octaves below middle-C, c4 = 3 octaves above middle-C)
A few corrections have been made to spelling and punctuation.
A list of these amendments can be found at the end of the text.
More detailed versions of the illustrations of the larynx inChapter II are available by following thelink on each image.
The cover design accompanying thiseBook was created by the transcriber, who waives all copyright tothe work.
