Preusser – Duets for Fun (2 cellos)

$19.99

This collection was formerly published as Treasure Chest of Duos.  It includes 50 original works from the Baroque to the Modern era, presented in progressive order of difficulty. Includes music by Gabrielli, Haydn, Mozart, Offenbach, Bartók, and others. Music is presented in score form with both parts on a page. Pieces start in 1st position and gradually advance through 4th but move through multiple key signatures, have trickier rhythms.  It’s nice to be in a comfortable note range when adding challenges.  Edited by Elmar Preusser

  • Bartok 18 Duos (2 cellos)

    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.
