CHARACTERISTIC TWO STEP - 2 GUITARS

CHARACTERISTIC TWO STEP - 2 GUITARSFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes "This is a fantastic concert encore or a piece to close the first half of a concert...You’ll know it as The Teddy Bears’ Picnic, but this is the Public Domain piano piece, written long before lyrics and a title were added. The lyrics are still in copyright, and so is the title, even if the arrangement has no words.And that’s why the Public Domain title is probably a complete unknown to you.My advanced-intermediate arrangement is based on a piano score published in 1907 and is faithful both to the key of the original and to the harmony and stylistic patterns that make the piece so distinctive and fun.The workload is shared equally, and the piece is surprisingly “under the fingers” - it is the speed as much as the notes that mean that it best suits a confident and experienced duo. (I also have a quartet version on sale here which shares out the workload, making a piece that suits a less-experienced team).The music comprises the opening Theme (which you can hear on the soundclip on the SMP website) and the Trio. Although the original music is not marked with a DC, such a repeat would make for an even more substantial concert item.The dynamics broadly match those in the piano original, but any energetic alternative will work!There is just a little fingering here and there - much of the rest will be self-evident.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.
