Giuseppe Concone (1801 Turin - 1861 Turin) was an Italian vocal teacher.
Biography
For about ten years Concone resided in Paris as a teacher. When he returned to Turin in 1848, he was at the time of his death organist and choirmaster of the Court choir.[1]
Work
He is widely known for his vocal exercises—solfeggi and vocalizzi—which are unusually attractive for works of their kind, and at the same time excellent for their special purpose.[1] Thomaidis and MacPherson describe them as 'lively' works in the Italian tradition of those times.[2]
While in Paris he wrote three 'oratorios.' One commentator (named Smither) wrote: "These are quite brief, and include no orchestra but only piano accompaniment. They are evidently intended for performance in a private soiree rather than a theatre. No performance of any of the three is known."[3]
He has also written some etudes for piano, his 25 Melodic Studies, Op. 24. Wayne Groves, Principal Trombone of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Aguascalientes, published (2008) "50 Studies for Trombone," taken from Concone's "50 Lessons for Medium Voice, Op. 9."
