This is an extremely rare, extremely important collection of 45 Cornet Solos from the golden age of the instrument. The subtitle of this collection says it all:

“The Cornetist’s Folio contains the principal solos of our greatest artists, arranged in the best style for cornet and piano. decidedly the most valuable collection ever published for these two instruments and offered at a price that places it within the reach of every cornet player.”

There was a time where a low-quality scan was floating around the internet, but it only included the piano part. Finally, with the help of our dear friend Vincent DiMartino, we were able to get hands-on with this tremendous resource, making a high-quality digital scan that we restored to the best possible condition considering the source material.

There have been so many monumental releases at qPress that it can seem like hyperbole when I talk these up, but in all honestly, it is rare finds like that this that are the very best days of running a publishing company.

Every single solo is itemized below so you know what you are getting in this 300-page collection. To the left, you see some samples of representative quality. Check them out then grab an immediate PDF download above.
