cornet
The cornet's first orch. appearance seems to have been in Rossini's opera William Tell, in 1829, and cornets are used by Berlioz in several works, incl. the Symphonie Fantastique, by Bizet, and by Tchaikovsky in Francesca da Rimini. By the 1890s it had almost displaced the tpt. in the orch., but is now seldom found in the orch. or in dance bands, and is now chiefly used in brass and military bands where a sop. cornet in E♭ is also used. But some 20th-cent. composers specify its use where they want its particular tone-quality, e.g. Vaughan Williams in London Symphony, Lambert in Rio Grande, and Arnold in Beckus the Dandipratt.

cornet
cornet, brass wind musical instrument, created in France about 1830 by adding valves to the post horn. It is usually in B flat and is the same size as the B flat trumpet, but has a more conical bore. The cornet, a transposing instrument, has a less brilliant tone but greater agility than the trumpet. It has long been a standard instrument in bands. In the orchestra, the cornet is used with the trumpet. It was used extensively in jazz in the early 20th cent. It should not be confused with the cornett, an instrument of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, which used a cup mouthpiece on a wooden or ivory body supplied with fingerholes similar to those on woodwinds. A bass cornett was used until the early 19th cent.
