For Bb Cornet or Bb Trumpet with Piano accompaniment  Fantaisie was composed by Francis Thomé. Written for the Paris Conservatoire contest in 1902 this piece is very musical and quite challenging and would fit upper intermediate players. This piece can sound quite dramatic but is very melodious too and can be considered as an important addition to the repertoire for Trumpet and Cornet. Francis Thomé (1850-1909) was a French pianist and a composer. He wrote some operas some ballets some operettas and some pantomimes.

Composed by Georges Hüe for the Conservatoire Contest (1900)  1st Solo De Cornet À Pistons is a piece for Cornet and Piano accompaniment dedicated to J. Mellet. Quite difficult (6°) it would demonstrate well the skills acquired by an advanced player during a contest but can also be performed for a recital as it's eminently enjoyable. Written in Bb minor the piece starts with the succession of lyrical parts by the Bassoon accompanied by the Piano and of some quieter ones with a more predominant Piano and a slower Bassoon. The piece then continues with a more energetic part reminiscent of a march supportedby some chords on the Piano. It closes on a faster section in Molto Vivace. It is really important for the Cornet player to master his breathing to execute this piece effectively. Georges Hüe (1858-1948) is a French musician and composer who composed numerous Operas including one created after the stories by Perrault.
