"Bordogni's Ornaments"
From ITA Journal 32, No. 1 (2004): 26-31.

"Ms. Salo's presentation on the Bordogni vocalises was among the top 5
oral presentions at the Masters or Doctoral level I have witnessed at the Eastman School.
The content was superb, and the presentation was informative, fluid, and thoroughly organized."

Peter Kurau
Associate Professor of Horn, Eastman School of Music

Ms. Salo's presentation clearly showed the depth of research she has invested in this topic.
As performers, it helps us all to remember that these vocalises arose from the pen of a man who himself was a fine performer. By discussing the performance tradition, Ms. Salo helps to free these vocalises from the dreaded "etude" label. She reminds us to breathe life into them.

Thank you for an informative, engaging presentation of important information about the Bordogni etudes.
Since your visit, we approach these beloved etudes with a fresh understanding of their historical purpose.

Amy’s presentation was refreshing, thoughtful, concise, and amazingly informative!
Not only do my students now approach these etudes with a clearer understanding, I teach them more effectively.
This is a “can’t miss” presentation for your students!
