Intermediate Classic Duets for Flute and Violin


Book Description

22 classical and traditional pieces arranged for equal flute and violin players of intermediate standard.There are a few easier pieces but most explore the range of notes and techniques expected of players that are Grades 4+, and some are quite tricky! The pieces are arranged for players of equal standard, so each player gets to play the tune! The violin part is mostly playable in first position. The flute part ventures into third octave. Most are in easy keys. There are 22 pieces in the book, some are longer, but most are short - one page, several are two or three pages. We've tried to be as varied as possible and have included both classical and traditional tunes, slow and fast pieces, easy and difficult, ones to play straight away and others to work on, but we hope you find them all enjoyable and fun. Arrangements include extracts from: Beethoven's Für Elise, Prokofiev's The Duck from Peter and the Wolf, Dvorák's Humoresque, Holst's Jupiter from The Planets, Loch Lomond, Grieg's Morning from Peer Gynt, Elgar's March from Pomp and Circumstance, Chopin's Prelude Op.28, Boccherini's Minuet, Bizet's Air de Toréador from Carmen, Beethoven's Minuet in G, Glinka's Intermezzo, Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile from Symphony No.5 , Brahms' Waltz Op.39 and more, some of which we expect you're unlikely to know because we wanted to include an element of musical exploration and adventure. Have fun!If you're looking for easier duets, you might like 'Easy Traditional Duets for Flute and Violin'.Look out for music arranged for mixed instruments: Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Oboe, Saxophone, Recorder, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Violin, Cello and Double Bass!

How does it relate to ideas like air speed, air temperature, and vowel shapes?- What things does an embouchure need to accomplish?- How can I (or my students) play better in tune?- What role does the tongue really play in articulation?- Which alternate fingering should I choose in a given situation?- How do I select the best reeds, mouthpieces, and instruments?- How should a beginner choose which instrument is the best fit?Woodwind Basics by Bret Pimentel is the new go-to reference for woodwind players and teachers.
