Features: Alben was an outstanding cornet player at that time. He possessed exceptional playing talent and achieved brilliant results during his tours across various countries in Europe. His influence led to the piston cornet becoming one of the popular musical instruments of the era. His artistic ideals, remarkable musical talent, and valuable teaching principles are fully demonstrated in this classic work, Cornet-Trombone Method. This book has established an authoritative position among similar works. Its practicality and ingenious design far surpass other publications. Professor Zhu has written extensively throughout his life, covering a wide range of topics, with a significant number of compositions related to the cornet. Today, on the tenth anniversary of Professor Zhu's passing, we are particularly moved to republish the Cornet-Trombone Method by Alben, which was translated and annotated by Professor Zhu for us in 1957. We deeply appreciate Professor Zhu's immense contributions to the development of the cornet in China. For half a century, generations of students have grown up alongside this "method." Professor Zhu's disciples have spread across the country, many serving as principal cornets in major orchestras, a remarkable achievement. For this new edition, we have added 130 practice songs and opera excerpts that were previously omitted, arranged roughly by difficulty level. We believe that studying these pieces will greatly enhance students' musicality and performance skills, while also enriching the comprehensiveness and practicality of this "method."
