-Pasta's voice extended from low A
to ID in altissimo, and was one of the
most remarkable illustrations ever fur
nished of the value of musical culture
in overcoming natural blemishes. Her
voice was stubborn and unmanageable,
but by dint of study and indefatigable
perseverance she brought it to a state
of perfection that was the admiration
of her contemporaries. Her delight
was the bravura style of ornament, and
where the composer had not been suf-
ficiently liberal in bestowing orna-
mentation on her part, she invented
cavatinas of her own and used them
with such effect that they were gener-
ally regarded as the best part of her
singing. She made her first appear
ance on the stage in 1915; her last in
1850.
