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 set includes two booklets, each with both parts in score form. While I don’t usually use “intermediate” to grade music, these works stay in bass clef, through 4th position, in friendly keys, with rhythmic challenges. If you like French Baroque chamber music, try these.
Each part is in its own booklet. Parts are of comparable difficulty, remain in bass clef and have a range through 4th position.
