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 sonata with basso continuo includes both parts in one booklet in score form, as well as a piano accompaniment so you can play it either way — or both ways. Cello I is largely in tenor clef, but the note range does not exceed 4th position G. Continuo in bass clef, easier rhythmically.
Each part is in its own booklet. Cello I is a bit more challenging than II but both parts remain in bass clef to 4th position and A harmonic. It is rehearsal-friendly with measure numbers, but there are no fingerings provided. This may be a blessing if you know your fingerboard geography, and a curse if you’re a play-by-number kinda guy.
