Concone Complete Solfeggi for Tuba
$25.00
This 144 page book contains all of Concone's vocal studies transcribed for tuba. The songs are in comfortable keys for CC or BBb tuba. The songs work very well for F and Eb tuba--they are in the lower range for these instruments, but not too low. These important studies are similar to the Bordogni legato etudes but are generally shorter in length. Most etudes in this book are one page long and can be perfected in a shorter time than the longer Bordogni studies. One of the main musical purposes of this book is to help the tubist learn to phrase and interpret the music correctly. Therefore there are no dynamics printed in the book. The tubist must interpret this music in the style in which it was written. Concone Complete Solfeggi is appropriate for tubists at all levels and for instruments in all keys.

The first complete edition of the Panofka Vocalises is here. We also publish the piano accompaniments for these fine studies. Panofka was a student of the great Bordogni. His music has been widely used by vocalists for more than a century. These songs are generally shorter than the Bordogni compositions. They are very musical and intelligently progressive. Young students will benefit from this introduction to the singing legato style. The range is not extreme, but both range and key signatures advance progressively throughout the volume. Advanced and professional-level musicians will find these studies an important addition to their library. By memorizing each etude and performing it with the piano accompaniment, new levels of artistic achievement may be reached.
