In this transcription, we have tried to make the guitar part easy and natural to play, while respecting as much as possible the original accompaniments of the author. This edition also includes the author's complete preface, in French and English.

Excerpt from the preface
There can be no doubt but what the ltalian language, being, by virtue of its euphony, best suited to the art of singìng, is the languare in which those desirous of leaming the art, should begin their studies. Having become familiar with ltalian, the student will find it easy to sing in any other spoken language, which would not be the case, had he begun with any other.
Nicola Vaccai, 1832
