Parts are of uneven difficulty. Cello I requires fluency in treble, tenor and bass clefs. Replete with double stops. Cello II mostly bass clef with the exception of two measures where tenor clef is unnecessary, and a B-C in two measures where it is helpful. (Editorial choices mystify me). Cello III and IV are all in bass clef, with IV having easier rhythms and no double stops.
From 44 Duos for 2 Violins arranged for 2 violoncelli by Walter Kurz. At first blush the pieces appear deceptively simple. Most of the duets can be played with a working knowledge of first and second positions. However, phrasing, dynamic markings, changes in time signature, and complex rhythms quickly reveal much more intricate music happening here. While parts appear evenly matched, it will be helpful to play with a more advanced partner. Newer students will have questions. Highly recommended because of the broad scope of skills required and, after all, it is Bartok! The 18 pieces are short, absolutely loaded with material.
