Jean-Baptiste Duvernoy (1800?1880 Paris) was a French pianist, composer and professor of piano at the Conservatoire de Paris.

His overall oeuvre comprises more than 300 works.

He is known particulary for his studies which include 'Ècole primaire' (25 studies for elementary instruction).

These studies were written for beginner's lessons on the piano, consisting of a simple structure.

They are supposed to train primarily the dexterity and independence of the fingers. But the special appeal of this collection lies, due to the cantabile character of the individual pieces, in the musical texture of these wonderful and expressive melodies.

Their focus is on the experience of sound which is why these studies are very popular in lessons and perfectly suitable as performance pieces. / [Etudes Elémentaires Opus 176] / Méthodes and études instrumentales / Partition / Broché /

Par GRIMES DAVID. The guitar studies of Fernando Sor (1778-1839) have long been valued highly among the indispensable elements of a guitarist's training. A number of prominent virtuosi attribute a large portion of their development to the diligent study of these works. Sor's studies address an impressive array of technical and musical topics, including proper left-hand fingering, training of the right hand, interval and chord formations, scales, arpeggios, repeated notes, ligados, barring, natural harmonics, control of note duration, balance of melody versus accompaniment, and the handling of contrapuntal voices. A careful study of these pieces will lay the groundwork for a solid technique and allow the guitarist to build the control necessary for the expression of his or her musical concepts. In preparing this edition David Grimes worked with Sor's original publications, but incorporated some alterations that appear in those studies that Napoleon Coste chose to include in his Methode complete pour la Guitarre par Ferdinand Sor. Furthermore, Mr. Grimes has corrected misprints, modernized the notation and rectified some inconsistencies. Finally, some developments in technique since Sor's day have been incorporated in this edition. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Classic - Solos / Etude / Guitare Classique

Grimes David (Edtd And Comp). Par GRIMES DAVID. The studies of Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) stand alongside those of Fernando Sor, Matteo Carcassi, Dionisio Aguado and Ferinando Carulli as the staples of the didactic pieces by the 'first generation' of classical guitarists. Giuliani was one of the most celebrated guitarists of his age, a brilliant performer and prolific composer. He left a legacy of compositions, and many of his works are heard regularly in recitals and concerts today. His student pieces are considered indispensable by generations of guitarists. The studies and exercises contained in the six opus numbers here provide some of the most effective material in the entire guitar literature for building and refining a superior technical command of the guitar. In this edition, David Grimes has modernized some of the notation and corrected a number of misprints from Giuliani's original publications. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Classic - Technic / Etude / Guitare Classique

Giuseppe Concone (1801-1861) was an Italian singing master pianist and composer. He wrote several volumes of vocal exercises which won world-wide recognition for their usefulness. These legato studies with their long phrases are ideal for developing a good tone on the bassoon. The bassoon generally plays a modest supporting role in the orchestra but there are occasions when it is given a solo and what is needed is a full golden sound. Time on thesestudies will not only make these moments shine but will also develop good support and control of all legato playing right down to the secure and rounded pianissimo.
