How I became a cornetist: The autobiography of a cornet–playing pilgrim’s progress

â€œHow I became a cornetist â€“ The autobiography of a cornetâ€“playing pilgrimâ€™s progressâ€ gives the reader a clear and wonderfully candid insight into Herbert L. Clarkeâ€™s thoughts and experiences during his progression from childhood, to the beginnings of his career as an internationally renowned cornet soloist. In a remarkably humble and sincere manner, Clarke leads us through his first experiences with an ophicleide which had â€œclappers as large as a teacupâ€, his premature enlisting into the Queenâ€™s Own Regimental Band, a â€œfrightful discordâ€ when playing offâ€“stage trumpet parts with an orchestra, work as a professional violist, illness, his cornetâ€“playing heroes, swollen lips, his failures, and ultimately, a small taste of his many successes. This longâ€“awaited reprint of Clarkeâ€™s autobiographical sketches aims to present the authorâ€™s words in a clear and easily accessible pocketbook format. A bare minimum of editing has been carried out in this edition, with only the most necessary and utmost minor changes made to punctuation, grammar and spelling, so that Clarkeâ€™s words may be read fluently yet preserved as purely as possible. â€œHow I became a cornetist â€“ The autobiography of a cornetâ€“playing pilgrimâ€™s progressâ€ is a must read for any brass player, and provides a remarkably clear window into the past, through which we are warmly invited to look.
