At the beginning there is an extract of "Spagnoletta" by Michael Praetorius with the recorder than the "Ciaccona" by Andrea Falconiero ca. 1585-1657 from "Il primo libro di canzone, sinfonie, fantasie... Napoli 1650"
You are an AMAZING cornetto player! Anyone listening to you who is not familiar with the instrument would have no idea how incredibly difficult--to the point of unplayability--the instrument is. Bravissima!
@soccerox817 How much can you afford? From a good maker, you might pay several thousand euros/dollars. Or, you can make your own (there's a classic textbook on making wind instruments that I followed when I made mine). That's the easy part. Getting a really good sound like Lene takes a lot of skill and practice.
Liked the presentation quite alot, but you did kind of leave me hanging about that mouthpiece secret. Was hoping to get a bit more information about that.
@joertjoert As Lene said, the mouthpiece is very small, typically smaller than modern brass instruments, and because of that, it is usually played to the side of the mouth where the lips are thinner. The inside of the mouthpieces is also conical, rather than the bell shape of modern brasswinds.
@BritMiss I took a crack at playing cornetto in my university days and was soundly defeated by the instrument. I'm one of those trumpet players who require a very large mouthpiece, something that isn't conducive to cornetto playing. Now that I'm retired, I'm sorely tempted to purchase a Monk replica and have another go. If the instrument defeats me again, I'll happily pass it along to our local university's music department, where some kid will no doubt master it effortlessly. :^)
I am delighted to find these podcasts! What an inspiration.

'Need to hear it with music that includes two sackbutts (the early version of a trombone...) for a real sound! Makes my day!
