As a composer Salvatore Marchesi has published a number of settings of French German and Italian songs distiguished for graceful inspiration. But he is still better known for his Twenty Elementary And Progressive Vocalises the ripe fruit of a long and brilliant career as a teacher of vocal art. The Vocalises may in particular be recommended for developing breadth and suavity of tone together with clearness and elegance in phrasing.
