Ludwig Fischer (1745-1825) was one of the most famous basses of his day, and he created numerous roles, including Osmin in Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782). Around 1792 he wrote an autobiography with anecdotes about his singing teacher Anton Raaff, his travels through Europe, and some of the operas he performed in. This book includes a facsimile of his autobiography, along with a transcription, the first complete English translation, an introduction and commentary. Also included are seven of the arias he sang in piano-vocal score by Anton Schweitzer, Ignaz Holzbauer, Antonio Salieri, Mozart, Antonio Sacchini, Johann Friedrich Reichardt, and Fischer himself. This provides a comprehensive portrait of one of the most famous basses of the eighteenth-century.
