Cavatina for Cornet was the result The opening mood of a brooding modal blues, almost improvisatory in style, gives way momentarily to a more optimistic central section; after an emotional climax and reflective cadenza, the opening material returns, but the piece ends with in more positive mood, with a brief reference to the earlier mood of optimism. This solo is also available with piano accompaniment.
