Duets for
Violin/Cello
My roommate and I are looking to play a duet next semester, and
we're kinda fishing for some ideas. Basically, we were originally
planning on doing some Beethoven (which, of course, would be just
fine), but a couple of other pieces got mentioned (a Milhaud and a
Sibelius). We'd like to get a good mix of pieces from which to
choose (but we can rule out the Ravel RIGHT NOW). Anyone have any
ideas/suggestions?
One CRAZY idea of ours is for her to play
the viola and the two of us do the Eyeglasses duet. She'll be
studying viola next semester in addition to her violin, so it's not
ALL THAT out there, but it's still rather nutty. Anyway, thanks in
advance for any replies!

Re: Duets for

The two that come to mind are the Kodaly and Bartok. I don't know
about difficulty of these pieces though.

Re: Duets for

Carl Stamitz composed 6 duets for violin and cello, Op. 19, that
are not too difficult, but are quite nice to play. They are
available an International Edition, cat. no. 1724.

How difficult are the Pleyel duets and are they
enjoyable to play?

Question about
the Pleyel Duets for Sarah
Terry - they're not too difficult to play and enjoyable enuogh, but
not particularly interesting musically. I think the Gliere duets are
much more interesting.

Duets for Violin
/ Cello
One can bring a lot of creativity to bear with the Passacaglia by
Handel / Halvorsen and the Grand Duo de concert sur deux airs
nationaux anglais by Servais & Hubert Leonhard.
Looks
like you attend an interesting school with co-ed dorms and all.

Thanks
Thank you for the replies; I'll be sure to check out some of those
pieces (I have a LOT of free time this summer, so this'll give me
something to do!).
BTW, Peter, I don't live in a dorm at
school (our school has co-ed floors, but not co-ed rooms).
