I finally got this section without any obvious mistakes. This section is similar to the first section, but without the staccato. And at the beginning a melody inspired or copied from Russian folk music. Including things like that was common for composers like Wurm. Just because this is a little longer than section A, it is much harder for me. But with this regular practice and recording, I get better faster.

Wilhelm Wurm was born in Germany in 1826. After studying the cornett, he became famous throughout Europe. He moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he became an important part of the music scene. He was also known by the names Vassily Vasilievich, Vasily Vurm, Вурм Василий Васильевич, Вильгельм Вурм, Василий Вурм. He not only played the cornet, but also composed for it and became a professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. He received many awards from different nations. He died in 1904.
