Giuseppe Concone (1801-1861) was an Italian singing master pianist and composer. He wrote several volumes of vocal exercises which won world-wide recognition for their usefulness. These legato studies with their long phrases are ideal for developing a good tone on the bassoon. The bassoon generally plays a modest supporting role in the orchestra but there are occasions when it is given a solo and what is needed is a full golden sound. Time on thesestudies will not only make these moments shine but will also develop good support and control of all legato playing right down to the secure and rounded pianissimo.

The Complete Solfeggi Studies of Giuseppi Concone long a staple in the vocal training tradition now available in one volume for performance by the trumpet. An invaluable resource for both intermediate and advanced trumpeters for the development of breath control musical understanding and lyricism. A wealth of material for early transposition studies.

J. CONCONE est surtout connu comme professeur de chant, de là, peut-être, la fluidité et le charme - quelquefois un peu désuet - de ses études pour piano. Bien sûr, comme je l'avais fait à propos des études de BERTINI (Ed. DELATOUR), je ne peux m'empêcher d'établir une comparaison entre les siennes et celles de CHOPIN - modèles insurpassables -. Il est vrai qu'à l'aune de ces dernières tout ce qu'on a composé dans ce genre paraît, soit insignifiant, soit très estimable ( ce qui n'est d'ailleurs pas si mal ! ). Je classerai dans cette catégorie les études de CONCONE après, cependant, celles de HELLER et surtout BERTINI. / Piano
