Bartok 18 Duos (2 cellos)
$15.00
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.

This single booklet includes both parts in score form. Parts are of similar difficulty, and both have a mix of tenor and bass clef. However, the tenor clef often stays within 4th position. If you associate clef changes with notes above your comfort zone, if you can handle through A harmonic up to a possible B, don’t shy away from these.
