| Description: The 26 compatible duets in this collection span 200 years of repertoire, featuring works from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. The arrangements are drawn from a variety of sources, including piano and chamber works, with the majority taken from actual duets originally written for two instruments by the composers themselves. Skillfully arranged for any combination of two string instruments, these duets may be performed at recitals, adjudications, weddings, and other social occasions. |
