Except of course, that Arban was a Frenchman. :wink:
But I quite agree on the Frackenpohl.

There's always one of the Herbert L. Clarke cornet "theme and variation" solos.

Always crowd pleasers especially when played on a REALLY big cornet!
Can you point me towards orchestra parts for any of the Clarke solos? I wasn't aware they even existed! I'd love to have a look at what's out there.

Thanks!
