This book contains all of Concone's famous Solfeggi: 30 Daily Exercises - Basic Legato Studies The first section-30 Daily Exercises-contains short studies to help improve legato sound. Exercise number 9 was a favorite of Mr. Arnold Jacobs, the famed former tubist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. When practiced in all keys and in both the upper and lower registers this exercise will improve control, intonation and tone color. 50 Lessons - The musical Vocalises of Concone Beginning with the section 50 Lessons, and continuing with 25 Lessons, 15 Vocalises and finally with the section 40 Lessons, Concone paints a compelling musical landscape. Learn to phrase properly, add dynamic contrast (dynamics are not printed in this book) and make each of the vocalises your own unique musical presentation. 25 Lessons - More complex melodies The 25 Lessons present slightly more complex and colorful musical ideas. Rhythms are more challenging, key signatures more varied and range is expanded. Still, the performer will have to interpret the dynamic contour of the music.

Low Legato Etudes for Tuba contains short legato style etudes (from Bordogni) transposed into the lower register of the tuba. These studies are ideal when combined with Low Register Studies for Tuba (published by Encore) for development of a smooth, singing low register. While these etudes can be performed on high tubas they are intended primarily for the low (CC, BBb) instruments.

These are the only etudes Grigoriev composed specifically for tuba. They are very musical with a distinctive Russian style. Grigoriev makes use of every major and minor key, legato and marcato styles, and wide range. Although conceived for BBb tuba, these etudes work well for all tubas including CC, F and Eb. With instructive text by L. Keating Johnson, additional text and musical examples by Wesley Jacobs, Grigoriev 50 Etudes is a comprehensive book for tubists.
