It is necessary 1st to learn to produce sounds, 2nd to give them purity and equality, and 3rd by means of the lips and with the aid of the wind it is needless to say that you cannot play without teeth to render these sounds soft and clear, or strong and loud, according as the melody is calm or impassioned, all this to be done with ease greace and lightness.
To obtain these qualities you must not seek to play airs or difficulties which the lips could not sustain, for in so doing you would risk spoiling them entirely or at the very least, would contract bad habits in the rhythm, emission of sound, style, etc. By a conscientious study of the 12 lessons which commence this work and which contain the manner of emitting sounds, different fingerings with sharps and flats, Diatonic and Chromatic intervals and synonymous fingerings of the said notes varied by short and very easy duets on the different notes, beats and keys most used in Music, I hope that the lips will have acquired sufficient strength to allow the pupil to continue without interruption the practise of the slurred sounds, scales, solfeges, exercises, grand studies and duets which follow.
The Cornet has 3 Valves, the first of which is nearest the mouth, and on which the 1st finger of the right hand is placed, the second is for the second finger, and the last nearest the bell for the 3rd finger. Care should always be taken to push the valves quite down to the bottom otherwise the sound would be disagreably altered. The left hand grasps the instrument, the thumb being placed on the 1st valve so that it can touch the tuning slide; the other fingers are placed as favourably as possible, for as all instruments are not made alike it is difficult to impose any particular manner.
The elbow should remain completely independant of the left, the thumb being slightly bent under the tube which holds the shank and mouthpiece, and serving thus sustaining the pressure on the pistons by the rest of the fingers. The mouthpiece is place on the lips as nearly as possible in the middle of the mouth, some place it on the right or left side and are not less good cornet players on that account; the fact no doubt arises from a certain weakness of the middle of the lips and sometimes also by the position of the teeth which do no allow of the mouthpiece being placed on them without suffering some injury.
Let us however try to do better by avoiding such an inelegant style. The lips are divided in the mouthpiece into two unequal parts: two thirds for the upper and the rest for the under according to all professors and one third for the upper and two for the under according to one sole individual, whom I shall not name. Now for my advice on the subject; I think it depends on which of the lips is thick; a person with a thick under lip will probably find it more convenient to use two thirds of the under and one third of the upper lip whilst the contrary happens when it is the upper lips that is the thicker.
What is essential is to have a fine tone, very pure and clear, with facility in execution, with that no one has anything to say, no matter where the lips may be placed on the mouthpiece. Everybody may express his opinion on the point: it is a subject continually under discussion and the problem is not yet solved and in all probability never will be for it depends on nature.
Once a position has been adapted it is bad to change it. Study and practise will remedy defects whereas in a change of position all must be recommenced. The Cornet being fitted with a shank Bb is preferable with the option of changing it for that of A when tired, although it would be better to rest a minute and to retain Bb I repeat then, fitted with a shank and being held with the left hand as shown above, you will proceed to place the mouthpiece on your lips with the precautions already laid down and then articulate the letter T in the following manner.
This mute articulation is one of the generators of sound and will constitute what has come 9rightly or wrongly to be called tongueing Coup de langue. This book is the category new release book.

It bears some analogy to the human voice in its compass, and in the manner in which respiration is conducted. That is why it has on many occasions been styled the Tenor of the Orchestra. The manner of learning to play it differs essentially from that in which any other sort of instrument is learnt.
