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 and studies were popular in the cornet and brass repertoire at the time, including his Fifteen Studies for Cornet. This Balay work remains within the cornet study repertoire to this day and is suitable to advance level players. The Fifteen Studies address features, including accidentals, breath control, intervals, range, ornamentation, chromaticism, complex rhythms, dynamics, performance directions, and variations in time and key signatures, among other aspects. These quirky studies provide the advanced cornet player with exciting exercises to ensure progress to a high level of technique. MORE»

This transcription of Stravinsky's neoclassical masterpiece is the brainchild of Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, trumpeter, recording producer, writer, University of London Professor and Principal of London's Royal Academy of Music. Both it and its sister edition for trombone & piano represent a major addition to the repertory for the respective instruments. The composer's own violin & cello transcriptions, Suite Italienne, were the precursor for the brass editions, containing a selection of movements, whereas these new publications present the entire suite. In his erudite preface, Freeman-Attwood outlines the importance of the trumpet writing in Stravinskys original Pulcinella and its relationship with his other works and with the “gleaming elegance of the solo obbligato trumpet parts which pepper the cantatas and oratorios of Italy and Germany in the early 1700s. The trumpet can be heard here echoing the past with its ubiquitous 'baroque' identity, while a fresh 'duo' text implores the player and listener to reflect the work further in a hall of mirrors, 'an hommage'.”
