Transcriber’s Note

The musical illustrations have been transcribed and are available in two pdfs. The Exercises follow the Exercises as numbered in the book in II. The Head Voice. The remainder of the musical fragments, which are unlabeled in the book, are labeled Figures A through Q (in the order in which they appear), and can be found in the Figures pdf.

In four instances, the original used a C clef centered on the third space to notate a vocal tenor clef. These have been transcribed using a modern vocal tenor clef.

Figure M: In the original, the eighth rest was written as a quarter rest.

Exercise 13: In the third measure, the rest was originally written as a dotted half rest. While no meter was specified, this was adjusted here to a quarter rest to fit the meter of the preceding measures.
