Arranged by Steven Rosenhaus. While the melody can be played by bassoon or cello (range through 4th position), the accompaniment is cello-only as it involves double stops and chords.
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.
[IMC #3442] No. 10 in C Major, No. 11 in G minor, No. 12 G Major. Includes two booklets, each with both parts in score form. Cello I in tenor clef but not above 4th position. Cello II in bass clef, less challenging in note range and rhythmically.
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.
