Summary of This Score
This collection offers a selection of graded duets designed as a true toolbox for teaching and musical practice in pairs. Intended for wind instruments (woodwinds and brass), it is particularly suited for lesson situations where the teacher can accompany the student, while also being perfectly adapted for duo work between musicians. The "by level" progression allows approaching the whole with confidence, while reinforcing fundamentals: rhythmic regularity, attack precision, voice balance, intonation, and shared breathing.
The content highlights a range of styles useful for enriching the repertoire: pages inspired by the Renaissance, the Baroque aesthetic, and Classicism, along with traditional songs and easy-to-memorize popular themes. The collection is completed by original pieces by Keith Snell, written in a variety of characters to work on contrasts, articulation, and musical expression. Among the included titles are: Airand Hornpipe(Purcell), Capriccio(Handel), Duet(Mozart), Rondo(Bull), Two-Part Invention No. 14(Bach), as well as Parallels, Serenade, Three Whimsies(Snell). An ideal selection of duets to vary sessions, prepare for auditions, or simply build a solid and motivating repertoire throughout the year.
