Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Book 1 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum Chamber Orchestra - Sheet Music

By Thom Proctor

The study of string instruments should include ensemble playing at the earliest possible stage. There is much to be gained from the playing of duets. Each player learns how to listen to the other, and in a short time develops an awareness of balance, musical phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. This type of training is excellent preparation for participation in large groups. These four volumes of duets for two violins will help fill the need for early ensemble experience in the public schools. They should be used in string classes as a supplement to any of the standard string methods. They will also encourage music-making outside of the school, with parents or with other students. These duets are ideal for recitals in the public schools and in public school festivals. they may be played by two performers, or by multiple performers on each part, with or without piano accompaniment

Very nice arrangements

We use this book in our ad hoc ensemble, a group of string players ranging from beginning to intermediate, led by an advanced violinist. The arrangements are very nice, provide nice melodic pieces for beginners, and flow well for more advanced players. Very gratifying to play, motivating to do more. Often we run over our allotted time, wanting to play 'just another one or two'... The pieces are short, though, so we repeat them a couple times to get the feel of the music
