| Oh no, it really makes a lot of sense.i did a recording session where i pulled out the Cornet for one tune, and the clarinet palyer started to get nervous. He had done some gigs with a big name Klezmer-Jazz- New Music trumpeter who is known for his musical genius, not for his chops. I couldn't understand why, but convinced him to let me try it. After we recorded the track, he said to me, "I have only heard so and so play cornet. I didn't know they could be plyed in tune."
In Klezmer playing, there were two styles. One is playing like a military band trumpet player, the other is to play more like the rotary flugelhorn type playing heard in Balkan bands, which more closely relate to the clarinet or violin style of the music. Cornet matches well with the latter style.
Trumpet players like Mannie Klien and Ziggy Elman came along later and esentially imitated the clarinet players they heard.
