The New International Encyclopædia/Concone, Giuseppe

CONCONE, kṓn-kō′nắ, Giuseppe (1810-61). An Italian vocal teacher, born in Turin. 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. For about ten years Concone resided in Paris as a teacher. Returning to Turin in 1848, he was at the time of his death organist and choirmaster of the Court choir.
