“Concone - Op. 37, No. 20 - F-sharp Minor” is a very short one-page piano study marked Largamente. The piece is written almost entirely in slow half-note chords, with both hands moving together in a simple chorale-like texture. Unlike Concone studies that focus on running motion or finger patterns, this one focuses on broad sonority, chord reading, hand balance, and moving through a serious minor-key progression with control.

Measures 1–3 present the opening chord progression. Both hands move together in slow half-note sonorities, with the right hand carrying the upper harmony while the left hand supports with lower chord tones. The long slur over the phrase gives the opening a connected, spacious character.

Measures 4–6 continue the same broad chordal writing. The harmony shifts through a slightly brighter and more open sound before returning toward the minor-key color. The slow rhythm makes each chord change important, so the piece feels more like a small harmonic study than a melody-driven song.

Measures 7–9 bring the music into its strongest cadential area. The chords become more settled and direct, with both hands arriving together in clear vertical sonorities. The texture remains simple, but the harmonic movement gives the short study a strong sense of direction.

Measures 10–12 close the piece with a final broad phrase. The hands continue moving together in half-note chords, then settle into the final F-sharp minor sonority with a fermata. The ending feels quiet, weighty, and complete, matching the Largamente marking.

Interesting fact: Giuseppe Concone is best known for vocal studies, but this short piano piece shows the same concern for line and breath in a different way. Even though the notes are chordal, the long slurs and slow pacing make the harmony feel like one broad sung phrase stretched across the keyboard.
