Selected Duets Flute - Volume 2

Advanced

This is a good book for flute students who are looking to improve on playing independently. The pieces are challenging, but not impossible with normal rehearsal time. My flute students enjoy working up the pieces to play in public. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a challenge...

for their flute students.

Some very nice pieces for first flute, but the second flute parts are weak. It really helps motivate players if what they are playing sounds like something on its own, and not just in combination with the first flutes. Otherwise a solid collection.

These light baroque and classical pieces from a variety of composers nicely fit the flute and violin duo for whom I purchased the book. Lots of interesting canonic material sounds more difficult than it it really is, and the non-canonic tunes are also well conceived although more "notey" and...

longer than the first volume of these duets. All pieces are appropriate for reception/dinner background music, recital music, or even ecclesiastical purposes. I'm sure that these can be easily and successfully adapted for other instrumentations as well.

I am currently working on Volume 1 and love it. This Volume is too advanced for me, but it won't always be so. I believe it will be a good as Volume 1.
