The Cornet in Portugal: between 1842 and 1904. This investigation aims to identify the changes that occurred in Portuguese musical society, in the course of the 19th century, through the cornet. The history of the cornet in Portugal is divided into three aspects: the repertoire, identifying and analyzing the forms of writing for a new solo instrument and its integration within the different groupings, characterizing musical practice; of teaching, contextualizing its emergence and identifying possible methodologies; and national construction, relating the emergence of construction with the increase in interest and demand for the cornet. The work is divided into four chapters:
Chapter I – Cornet, the new solo instrument (1842 – 1904), which will have four sub-chapters: New musical milieu in Lisbon, Soloist repertoire, Portuguese cornetists and the importance of Jean Baptiste Arban’s visit to Portugal.
Chapter II – The teaching of the cornet in Portugal; Teachers and Methodology.
Chapter III – The construction of the cornet in Portugal; the role of the cornet in the evolution of construction and the new paradigm of instrument construction.
Chapter IV – Compositional differential associated with the cornet, divided into Band, Orchestra and Chamber Music.
