Observations on the Florid Song

Note 101 — CHAP. IX.

John Ernest Galliard translation

It is a very great Error (too much in Practice) for the Voice, (which should serve as a Standard to be imitated by Instruments,) to copy all the Tricks practised on the several Instruments, to its greatest Detriment.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
