A cornet due to the conical bore has a softer, sexier voice that does not carry as well. I find that a cornet speaks at soft volumes more easily (Ever wonder on the Clarke studies how anybody could perform the 500 repeats that he recommends for each of the Technical studies? It works on my 1911 Holton Clarke model long cornet). Up close, they will sound similar in volume, but the projection of the trumpet will make it sound more present to the audience.
