This is a beautiful number which will have you thinking of band shells and park bands of earlier times. It is a very easy number to put together and gives everyone a chance at the melody. It is definitely a cornet piece. Although this is only about half of the original “Bethena-Concert Waltz” it is the most recognizable section and a real crowd pleaser.
