Autor

Lilli Lehmann (1848–1929) was a German soprano of phenomenal renown, both for her powerful voice and for her methodological contributions to the art of singing. Born in Würzburg, Germany, she was the daughter of musical parents who prepared her for a life on the stage. Lehmann made her debut at the age of 15 and quickly advanced in the European opera scene, performing leading roles in works by Mozart, Wagner, and other prominent composers of the time. Lehmann was not just a performer but also a pedagogue, which led to the publication of her influential work, 'How to Sing' ('Meine Gesangskunst'), in 1902. A rich amalgamation of personal experience, technical instruction, and career advice, this book encapsulates Lehmann's vocal philosophy and educational approach. She emphasizes the importance of breath control, articulation, and resonation, all the while offering insights gleaned from her illustrious career. Her literary style mirrors her singing: clear, powerful, and precise, designed to both instruct and inspire. Lehmann's book remains a seminal piece for singers and music scholars, reflecting an era when vocal art was transitioning into the modern age and standing as a testimonial to her legacy as one of the great singers of her time.
