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.
Parts are of comparable difficulty, and each cellist has their own booklet with parts in score form. Each duet has multiple movements, remain in bass clef through 4th position.
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.
IMC #3705 is the 15 Easy Studies which precede the 10 Grand Etudes in Op. 76 preparing you for Op 73, the High School. Originally arranged by G. Woerl (who included cello II ad lib for Nos. 1-10), Enyeart wrote Cello II parts for the remaining five. The only other change we note is the inclusion of measure numbers. It is a single book with both parts in score form.
