"Exercise yourself in a messa di voce ... Set out on this exercise at once, and spend at least an hour on it every day, though at different times, a little in the morning, and a little in the evening; and keep constantly in mind that this is, of all exercises, the most difficult and the most important."
—Giuseppe Tartini
