The Bach
pupil Agricola - who
became Kapellmeister at
the court of King
Frederick the Great after
Graun's death competently
translated the work,
adapted it to the vocal
performance practice of
the time, and furnished
it with additional
material to satisfy the
taste prevalent in
Germany back then.
Tosi/Agricola's Anleitung
is still regarded as the
best book on the subject,
in German, as the
original in Italian,
wrote the widely traveled
Charles Burney in
1789.
