This is a guest blog post by Library of Congress Junior Fellow Analisa Caso. Analisa describes her contributions to the NLS Music Section during the 10-week-long program.
The Italian Songs and Arias compiled by Alessandro Parisotti are perennially popular, and the Alfred edition is now available in braille from the NLS Music Section.

In today's post, we learn about tried-and-true nineteenth-century Italian singing exercises that are still used by voice teachers today and are available from the NLS Music Section's collection.
