I am sometimes asked about the decorations on Venetian cornetts. My observations concerning them are based upon 30 years of cornett making, examination of instruments in American and European collections, and broad historical curiosity. I am aware of the shortcomings of this approach. Somewhere out there is a musicologist, an art historian or cultural anthropologist with better answers or even "The Truth." This article provides tentative answers and observations. Venetian cornetts, which were highly prized for their exceptional quality, found their way into courts all over Europe, judging from extant inventories. Venetian curved cornetts share a common decorative theme, especially those attributed to the Bassano family on the basis of their activities as players and makers and the "rabbit's feet" markings found on some of the instruments. 1 (These will be called one-, twoor threemar k instruments based on the number of such pairs of feet found on an instrument.) Curved cornetts come in several sizes and forms. Ignoring the question of pitch, the curved cornett family consisted of five voices. In descending order they are: cornettino; treble (or Chorzink in German), the most common size and hereafter referred to simply as cornett; alto; tenor, and bass. (The serpent is not considered to be a member of the cornett family. ) The cornettino does not appear to have been used in Italy, but seems to be a later, German contrivance. The size of the instrument has a great influence on its form and decorative treatment. The form of the curved cornett reflects its descent from hunting horns and fingerhole horns fashioned from cow and similar-shaped horns. Most cornetts and cornettini are made in this slightly curved shape, which not only evokes their origin but also facilitates playing by better placement of the fingerholes under the lower hand. This disregards the direction of the curve and the q uestion of which hand is placed uppermost on the instrument. The Renaissance high-pitch cornett (a= c. 465 Hz.), somewhat shorter than a modern-pitch instrument, could be played with either hand in the uppermost position (though it is easier to play a right-curved instrument with the right hand in the lower position)· 4 Pain tings reflecting left hand down on a right-curved instrument and right hand down on a left-curved instrument are sometimes seen, but artistic considerations seem predominant in such cases.

有时有人会问我关于威尼斯廊柱上的装饰。我对它们的观察是基于30年的科尼特制作，对美国和欧洲收藏的乐器的研究，以及广泛的历史好奇心。我知道这种方法的缺点。在某个地方，会有音乐学家、艺术史学家或文化人类学家给出更好的答案，甚至是“真相”。本文提供了初步的答案和观察。从现存的库存来看，威尼斯孔雀酒因其卓越的品质而受到高度重视，并进入了欧洲各地的宫廷。威尼斯弯曲的圆口琴有一个共同的装饰主题，特别是那些被认为是巴萨诺家族的，基于他们作为演奏者和制造者的活动，以及在一些乐器上发现的“兔子脚”标记。(根据在乐器上发现的这种脚对的数量，这些乐器被称为一、二或三脚乐器。)弯曲的圆锥体有几种尺寸和形式。忽略音高的问题，弯曲的科内特家族由五个声音组成。按降序排列是:cornettino;高音(或德语的Chorzink)，最常见的尺寸，以下简称为cornett;alto;男高音和男低音。(蛇不被认为是科内特家族的成员。)cornettino似乎并没有在意大利使用过，但似乎是后来的德国发明。乐器的大小对其造型和装饰处理有很大的影响。弯曲角的形状反映了它从狩猎角和由牛角和类似形状的角制成的指孔角演变而来。大多数小圆笛和小圆笛都是用这种微微弯曲的形状制作的，这不仅能唤起人们对它们起源的回忆，而且还能通过将指孔更好地放置在下手掌下方来方便演奏。这忽略了曲线的方向和哪只手放在乐器上的上方的问题。文艺复兴时期的高音短号(a= c. 465 Hz)，比现代音高乐器短一些，可以用两只手在最上面的位置演奏(尽管右手在较低的位置更容易演奏右曲乐器)·4有时可以看到左手在右曲乐器上向下，右手在左曲乐器上向下的疼痛，但在这种情况下，艺术考虑似乎占主导地位。现存的高比例的左曲原始乐器构成了一个

This annual series of bibliographies lists writings about Western brass instruments, their makers, making, original performance situations, performers, performance practices, repertory and depiction in works of art through the nineteenth century. Interviews with modern performers of historic brass instruments are also included, but not reports on conferences and workshops unless they contain signifi cant historical information. The present bibliography covers items that reached me between November 1997 and November 1998 (including some from earlier years). I would be grateful if readers could notify me of any omissions or errors. The items listed comprise books, theses and dissertations, and periodical articles in Western European languages. Unpublished books and articles as well as works-in-progress have been excluded. For the sake of completeness, the articles that have appeared in Historic Brass Society Journal and Historic Brass Society Newsletter are included, even though they should already be familiar to readers. For the most part the bibliography is unannotated, although here and there I have added brief descriptive annotations to clarify the contents, scope, or bibliographic linkages of an item. My English translations of all foreign titles are given in square brackets after the original titles. Advice about where to obtain the items may be found at the end of the bibliography.
