Elite Syncopations, Maple Leaf Rag, The Easy Winners, The Entertainer. Includes score and parts. Intermediate: All parts venture into tenor clef a bit, and rags have tricky rhythms.
[IMC #2227] Originally composed for two oboes and English horn. Cello I is entirely in tenor clef and requires thumb position; Cello II is in bass clef moving briefly above 4th position for a B; Cello III barely moves out of first position to an occasional E. There are many octave jumps in the lower positions, many ungainly passages.
Duets are graded in four volumes, both parts of equal difficulty. Volume II uses half, 1st and 2nd positions. Pieces are more rhythmically challenging, and instructional tips are provided as to bowing. We usually stock this book for Two Violins and Two Violas which matches the cello book, so you can play violin-cello or viola-cello duets. A piano accompaniment book is also available for purchase.
