Character piece in Nostalgic style

Taken from William Rimmer’s The Artistic Soloist – a volume of character melodies for solo cornet – Elgar Howarth has furnished four of the tunes with full accompaniment for brass band.

A Southern Sketch is a quaint melody suggestive, perhaps of the cotton fiels of the southern USA. Clean tonguing is required in the second strain, while the meno mosso requires a soft undertone.
