THE CORNET COMPENDIUM
The History and Development of the Nineteenth-Century Cornet

by Richard I. Schwartz

$40.00 direct from the author, includes shipping in the USA ($45.00 with overseas first class shipping). 

This extensively-researched 267 page document includes information on the early history of the cornet, lesser-known soloists, tutors, solos, manufacturers, links on the web, and bibliography.

Richard I. Schwartz  is the Coordinator of Music Theory at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia.  A highly-accomplished clarinetist, Richard's playing focus has been gradually shifting to the decidedly superior instrument, the CORNET!

"I am happy to endorse this book dedicated solely to CORNETS – it's an amazing amount of information in one place, not duplicated by any other publication that I am aware of.  Richard explains things in a very straightforward, easily understood manner, unlike some books I have seen regarding the history of musical instruments. It represents months of dedicated research, and we are lucky that Richard has made it available to cornet players and collectors at such a nominal cost, much of which is taken up in its reproduction – it is professionally copied and plastic spiral-bound (GBC).  It does not contain any illustrations, but don't let that stop you from placing your order today, which I strongly urge you to do."
