Concone

Giuseppe Concone (1810-1861) was a renowned Italian singer and music pedagogue of the Romantic Period.  Having been  born and educated in Turin, he moved to Paris in 1837 where  he became a highly reputed vocal coach and piano instructor.   While in France he wrote several masterful collections of  vocalises and vocal exercises which remain a staple for voice  students today.  More lately in the 20th Century, instrumentalists  have discovered this body of literature and have transcribed  these exercises for every possible instrument for their inherent  benfit in teaching musical expression and lyricism.
