Guillaume Balay (1871-1943) served in the French military as a prolific Cornet player having won first place in the 1894 Cornet Award competition at the National Academy of Music in Paris. His compositions were popular in the Cornet and brass repertoire at the time including his Prélude Et Ballade adaptable to Cornet or Saxhorn with Piano accompaniment. This Balay work remains within the brass repertoire to this day and is suitable for intermediate to advanced level players. The Prélude is in 4/4 meter and exploits the full range of the instruments. There is also much use of flourishingsemiquaver passages. The Ballade is a much more measured than the first movement and is in 2/4 time. The texture is predominantly melody-dominated homophony with the occasional use of call-and-response between the melody instrument and Piano accompaniment. This quirky two-movement piece by Balay provides the intermediate to advanced Cornet or Saxhorn player with a fun alternative performance piece.

Morceau de Concert by J. G. Pennequin was composed in 1907. Initially written for Trumpet and Piano this arrangement for Cornet and Piano is very melodic and quite challenging for the Cornet part. Quite fast this very enjoyable work lasts 7 minutes and needs some advanced skills. The piece starting by the Piano shows a continuous exchange between the Cornet and the Piano. J. G. Pennequin (1864-1914) was a very famous Violin teacher in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. He was also the first Violin of the Opera-Comique and an accompanist of the Salle Pleyel. Winning First Prize of the Paris Conservatory he wrote a complete method for Violin as well as an elementary method. A sonata for Violin by André Gedalge was dedicated to him.
