Duets are graded in four volumes, both parts of equal difficulty. Volume III uses half through 4th positions, music is rhythmically more challenging, more bow strokes are introduced, and ornamentation is added. We usually stock this book for Two Violins and Two Violas which matches the cello book, so you can play duets and either instruments can play the upper or lower lines. A piano accompaniment book for this volume is available for purchase.
[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.
