| Dr. Stewart,
Which older cornet solos -- which genre? Certainly at a faster tempo in any genre the difference between the two could not be easily discerned. At a slower tempo, maybe. Ragtime is going to be different than marches for brass bands. And with the changes in notation over the years, the intent may be hard to discern.
I doubt Mozart is played today like it was in his lifetime, for example.
