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"

@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. :^)

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

[Gatltonian]

Incredibly brilliant music making. They need to release a recording ASAP.

What's the Name of the song she plays?

Fantastic playing! I'm definitely sharing this!

@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.
