COMPOSER'S NOTESThe music of these violin duos has been influenced by the centuries-long flow of traditional music from the British Isles to North America and back again. The compositions are dedicated toseveral people who are keeping that transatlantic musical flow in motion today.Sleep Sound Ida Mornin'Sleep Sound ida Mornin' is a very short duo for two violins based on a traditionaltune which I first heard in the Orkney Islands although played there on the banjo by a native of Kansas. My extended version with a slow introduction was first played in Boston on 29th January 1995 by Lesley Chen and NathanSchmidt members of the New England Conservatory's Preparatory Division during their annual weekend festival of contemporary music. This very remarkable and encouraging event was devised and organised by Rodney Lister to whomthis piece is dedicated.Duration c. 2 minutes.Atlantic DriftAn earlier even shorter version of Atlantic Drift written for violin and piano was first performed by PeterSheppard Skaerved and Aaron Schorr at the Royal Academy of Music London on 9th May 2006 in a concert to celebrate the 70th birthday of the American composer and transatlantic communicator Elliott Schwartz. The melody isoriginal though clearly influenced by the music and perpetual tides of the Hebrides. Duration c. 3 minutes.Rain and Mist are on the Mountain I'd Better Buy SomeShoesThis four-movement duo for two violins is based on a fragment of a Gaelic folk song from Barra in the Western Isles of Scotland. The title suggests that although the Gaels of yesteryear were rich inpoetic expression and the beauties of nature they were otherwise not very affluent. Rain and Mist was first performed at the Wigmore Hall London on 6th February 2005 by Corina Belcea and Laura Samuel.Duration c. 6

Six Duos (op. 48) for two Violins-These easy duets were published around 1796/97 by Pleyel???s own publishing house both as Six Duos faciles et progressives for two violins and as Six nouvelles Sonatines progressives for piano and violin though we do not know today which version came first. To this day the violin duets are favorites for use in violin lessons but also for making music at home. Though lesser known today around 1800 Ignaz Pleyel numbered among the most popular composers in Western Europe - which may at first come as a surprise but which to judge from these very appealing pieces manageable for advanced beginners is easily understandable. With an unmarked score and two marked solo parts the Urtextedition provides optimal material for use in teaching.

In 1892 Josef Suk (1874-1935) a mere 18 years of age contributed his piece Melody to a collection of simple works for Violin (for two three or four Violins and for Violin with Piano accompaniment) called The Young Violinist published by the Prague-based firm Jos. R. Vilimek (several books issued per year).This short charming and technically undemanding piece for young violinists which is possibly more familiar to Czech audiences in arrangements for other combinations of instruments (Violin and Piano or solo Piano) was published once again in its original version for two Violins to mark the 70th anniversary of Suk's death(2005).The whereabouts of the autograph of this work is unknown; the editor of the new edition Zdenek Nouza based his revisions on the original carefully prepared edition from 1892. The bowings are Suk's own (he was an excellent violinist) but no fingerings have been added since the piece can be played by violinists of varying technical proficiency; first position alone would suffice however a fuller richer sound would be gained with greater mastery of the instrument.

The Tunes for Two series is well established and is used in so many schools throughout the world thanks to the fine arrangements of such well-known pieces. There are 30 duets in each book (piano books oneand two contain 20 each). An excellent introduction to ensemble playing the familiar tunes make playing-along a rewarding experience. The versatile C and B flat instruments book has one part for each instrument.

This Chamber Music book is to be started when the pupil reaches page 24 of the Samuel Applebaum String Method. However it can be used in conjunction with any good string method. Published for two violins two violas two cellos two basses and piano accompaniment.

During his lifetime composer Piano manufacturer and publisher Ignaz Pleyel bestowed upon the world of music an almost unimaginable number of published compositions some of them in multiple arrangements too. Of those what has remained in the repertoire today are primarily works for small chamber ensembles. Several Violin duos for instance have maintained their place among enthusiasts and students among them in particular the ?Little Duos in Increasing Difficulty ? which appeared in print in 1806 ?at the urging of several teachers? (according to the title page!). Now for the first time G. Henle Publishers presents these light performance pieces in anUrtext edition both in full score and as two individual parts to optimise use for any occasion.
