Description
SKU: A0.1428140
Composed by JOHANN JOACHIM QUANTZ (1697 - 1763). Arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Chamber,Classical,Contest,Festival. Score. 32 pages. Piper Publications #1008926. Published by Piper Publications (A0.1428140).The last of a set of 6 Duettos Opus 2 which Quantz composed for his pupil king Frederick the great of Prussia. It would seem that these Duettos were composed over a longer period of time than would be expected by the opus number as they clearly indicate the pupil's progressive as a player and Quantz's development as a composer. The date of publication (1759, just 4 years before Quantz's death) and addition of the alternative suitability for violins indicates that a collection of the Duettos was intended to maximise sales.
The movements, Grave in alla breve time leading to Alla Breve, ma Presto, Cantabile and Più Tosto Vivace are the most demanding of the six Duettos. The last movement is a canon, the second part following the first exactly at a distance of two bars/measures for 143 bars/measures plus repeat, with a short Conclusione in the fashion of a coda.
The last Duetto of the set is suitable for players of advanced intermediate standard.
