Summary

#xE2;#xAC;SHow I became a cornetist #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; The autobiography of a cornet#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;playing pilgrim#xE2;#xAC;"s progress#xE2;#xAC; gives the reader a clear and wonderfully candid insight into Herbert L. Clarke#xE2;#xAC;"s thoughts and experiences during his progression from childhood, to the beginnings of his career as an internationally renowned cornet soloist.In a remarkably humble and sincere manner, Clarke leads us through his first experiences with an ophicleide which had #xE2;#xAC;Sclappers as large as a teacup#xE2;#xAC;, his premature enlisting into the Queen#xE2;#xAC;"s Own Regimental Band, a #xE2;#xAC;Sfrightful discord#xE2;#xAC; when playing off#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;stage trumpet parts with an orchestra, work as a professional violist, illness, his cornet#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;playing heroes, swollen lips, his failures, and ultimately, a small taste of his many successes.This long#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;awaited reprint of Clarke#xE2;#xAC;"s autobiographical sketches aims to present the author#xE2;#xAC;"s words in a clear and easily accessible pocketbook format. A bare minimum of editing has been done in this edition, with only the most necessary and utmost minor changes made to punctuation, grammar and spelling, so that Clarke#xE2;#xAC;"s words may be read fluently yet preserved as purely as possible.#xE2;#xAC;SHow I became a cornetist #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; The autobiography of a cornet#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;playing pilgrim#xE2;#xAC;"s progress#xE2;#xAC; is a must read for any brass player, and provides a remarkably clear window into the past, through which we are warmly invited to look.
