| The symbolism of the cornet was a strong point made by Mr. Arban over a century ago. An instrument equal in expression to a flute or violin. The trumpet was rather vulgar in comparison. Calling those great soloists cornetists could be interpreted: a) equal in expressivity to a great violin or flute player b)not completely loyal to orchestral playing or c) due to the instrumental family to which the cornet belongs: just plain horny
