Summary of This Method
Legato Etudes for French Horn draws on the spirit of Giuseppe Concone's vocalises to offer work that is both musical and methodical, particularly relevant for horn players who wish to develop their playing beyond a "simple technical exercise." The book addresses three common challenges: producing a truly singing legato (without breaks in breath or tone), strengthening the extension and control of the low register, and acquiring real fluency in reading bass clef.
Each study is designed as a phrase to interpret: the melodic line invites careful attention to direction, points of support, and breathing, while maintaining a homogeneous emission across note changes. The choice of keys and rhythmic signatures is deliberate: it allows variation in fingerings and intonation, works on the regularity of flow, and places the specific difficulties of legato (connections, intervals, tone stability) in context.
Dynamic markings complement this work by providing a clear framework to build the phrase's dynamics and develop breath control, essential for the horn. Used as a daily routine or integrated into a more comprehensive session (scales, arpeggios, technical studies), this method is an excellent tool to strengthen musicality, reading skills, and confidence in the low register, while remaining faithful to a "vocal" approach to instrumental playing.
