Arranged as a Bb.Cornet or Euphonium solo. ( 4.55)
Bellstedt was born in Bremen in Germany in 1858, moving to what was to become his life long home in Cincinnati in the USA at the age of nine. He was appointed Professor of Wind Instruments at the University there and managed to combine these duties for many years with a career as a travelling cornet virtuoso. He died in 1926. This work dates from around 1914 and is one of the most popular cornet/ euphonium solos ever written.
