The cornett is made of wood but has a brass cup mouthpiece and uses woodwind finger technique. It is capable of great virtuosic display and was featured in works by Monteverdi, Giovanni Gabrieli, and Praetorius, and later by Bach, Handel, and Gluck. This book compiles detailed listings of pieces from 200 printed collections.

Trade Review
"... a major contribution to cornett research and belongs in the library of every cornettist." Historic Brass Society "... scrupulously detailed... The first successful attempt to provide a comprehensive reference book on the cornett and its music. Recommended for both upper-division undergraduate libraries and collections serving music scholars and performers." Choice " ... it will likely stand as the definitive bibliography of cornett music for many years." Notes "... this is a groundbreaking study of the subject ... likely to remain the only major study of the instrument and the music composed for it." American Reference Books Annual "... every cornett player owes an immense debt of gratitudeto [the authors and their assistants] for revealing such a wealth of performing opportunities ..."
