Thanks for setting me straight on the cornet numbers. Now as 
to nomenclature. It would appear that "ripiano" (or how is it
spelled?) must be derived from the baroque Italian term "ripieno",
which means approximately "full", and is related to the English 
words "plenary" and "plenty". Can anyone comment on this point,
and confirm that the "a" is pronounced as in its shorter relative,
"piano"?   Thanks.

Play well.   Basil
