The complete title of this book is “Guilbaut’s conservatory studies for the cornet consisting of Thirty studies on the art of preluding, Twelve exercises in mechanism, Eighteen brilliant studies on the art of phrasing.” What a mouthful!

Guilbaut is known for his editing and compilation of some of the most important trumpet methods of his time, including the Alexandre Petit method and the Forrestier method, but he also wrote some fantastic methods and etudes himself.

The three books included in this one volume are:

12 Exercises in Mechanism for the Cornet: Each one is a study in dexterity for both tongue and fingers, and sits firmly in the upper intermediate to advanced range in difficulty.

18 Brilliant Studies for the Cornet: Full of flash, musicality, and technical difficulties that will satisfy even the most advanced trumpeter.

30 Short Preludes for the Cornet: The name might suggest that they are simple, but these are very challenging solo preludes that will challenge players at all level with their technical challenges and extreme dexterity.
