for
Trombone

From 50 Lessons for Medium voice, Op. 9

Giuseppe Cancone

Giuseppe Concone



Paolo Giuseppe Concone, famous Italian singing teacher, was born in Turin,
Italy on September 12, 1801, and died June 6, 1861. From 1832 to 1848, he
lived and taught in Paris, where he composed a number of vocal studies,
which have remained in popular use among singing students to this day. Many
of his studies have been adapted for various wind instruments.

This current edition for trombone is taken from the 50 Lessons for Medium
Voice, Op. 9. In each of these studies, all of the original keys and all rests
have been retained so that they may be performed with the original piano
accompaniment without transposition. All of the original dynamic markings,
phrase markings and other performance indications have been retained, as
well, but in a few cases, I have taken the liberty of adding further phrase
markings and other indications where the original was somewhat unclear. I
have also adapted certain notational procedures more common to modern
brass notation, most notably replacing the signal V with a comma to
indicate breathing.

Like the vocalises of Marco Bordogni, these studies offer many benefits to
the modern trombonist, in gaining mastery over phrasing, breath control,
rhythmic precision, intonation and sight-reading. Since they are generally
shorter and less technically demanding than most of the studies of Bordogni,
they can be mastered in less time and are suitable for trombonists of various
levels. Since they were originally conceived of as solfege studies, it is
recommended that they be sung and as well as played, and whenever possible,
practiced and performed with the piano accompaniment, which is well known
and readily available.
