Whilwind Polka for Solo Bb Cornet & Wind Dectet

Whirlwind Polka
Composed by Jules Levy – Arranged by Keith Terrett

A brilliant showcase of nineteenth-century cornet virtuosity, Whirlwind Polka is one of the most exciting and technically demanding works by the legendary cornet soloist Jules Levy. Bursting with energy, sparkling passagework, and dazzling articulation, the work perfectly captures the spirit of the virtuoso concert stage.

This new arrangement for Solo Cornet and Wind Decet retains the brilliance and excitement of Levy's original while providing a colourful and engaging chamber ensemble accompaniment. From its lively opening to its breathtaking technical displays, Whirlwind Polka offers the soloist countless opportunities to demonstrate agility, musicality, and flair.

An ideal concert feature for advanced performers, this arrangement brings a classic cornet showpiece to modern audiences in an exciting new setting.
