Cornett

CORNETT

6′ – 2007
solo music

The cornet with a book, instrument of the European Renaissance, is a little cousin of the zourna, rustic oboe double reed of the Balkans and Anatolia. The play is a phrase that turns and keeps going up. The horn is able to create a breakthrough, to find a fault in the sky.
