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.

English/German/French Version-Technical Studies For The Cornet was written to enable the Cornet (or Trumpet) student to conquer any technical difficulties they may encounter in the literature for the instrument. By carefully following the instructions in the book the student will build up strength and endurance without strain or injury to their embouchure. This is an excellent resource for those Cornet and Trumpet players wishing to develop and secure advanced techniques.

Student Instrumental Course-Studies And Melodious Etudes Part I is a supplementary technic book of the Belwin 'Student Instrumental Course'. Although planned as a companion and correlating book to the method book The Cornet Student it can also be used effectively with most elementary cornet instruction books. It provides for extended and additional treatment in technical areas which are limited in the basic method because of lack of space. Emphasis is on developing musicianship through scales warm-ups and technical drills musicianship studies and interesting melody-like etudes.
