Herbert L. Clarke: "The Debutante" Cornet Solo, Recorded in 1907

This is among a collection of brass players from 100 or more years ago. Even though many are poor fidelity, the playing is very impressive!

[@damodecomposed]

The fact that this is H.L. Clarke himself performing is incredible in and of itself. What a surprise to know that the man himself was captured on record!... unbelievable...

If only we could listen to Arban this way

[@davidbarker7938]

I have an entire LP of him playing his solos.

Impeccable technique by one of the original pioneers of cornet artistry .

[@chronicrandomness8092]

This level of playing checks out; his technical studies book is all about precision and good practice.

Thanks for this. Played this college auditions 100 years ago on baritone. Tempo is amazing

These old-timers would have no problem going head to head with the current players.

Uma relíquia,maravilhosa!

What l find interesting about Herbert Clarke is his rubato style. Not strictly in time, some parts are rushed and others parts held back.

That most likely due to it being recorded on record the audio speed was typically faster on average due to limit recording space

[@Trumpetrille]

Wow!

[@genesbeans]

O for the days of the virtuoso cornet players.

[@galetrumpet]

Clarke's students included Doc severinson and Claude Gordon and many others. Many players today studied with Gordon.

I wonder if the speed as we hear it is faster than he played it?

[@dwerden]

It is certainly possible. The standards for platter speed then we diverse
