24 all original Flute duets for intermediate to advanced players by Keri Degg. Containing a multitude of styles from Swing, Celtic, contemporary, classical, Rock and more, these are a must have for the intermediate to advanced player wanting to improve their playing.

As the duets are all original, no 'cheating' can take place by already knowing the melodies so good tactical mathematical skills must be employed. Some of the duets zone in on intonation, others on rhythmic precision, or expression. There are a number of light hearted duets in the collection which provide welcome relief amidst exam study work (after all, music should be fun too!).

The duets are designed for 2 C flutes (B foot/feet are not required). Or, for a giggle.... try them on two piccolo's (ear defenders are not included however...).

The duets stick mainly to the keys and note ranges for the given grades but there are occasional exceptions (in our opinion this is good preparation for what is to come ahead) and generally the lower Flute part (Flute 2) is a little easier in standard (although often the melody line will switch from player to player to share the tune and encourage sympathetic listening skills).

Apologies for the (rather poor) audio file; it's a digital interpretation of 'The Chase' - a comedy duet from the collection. They sound amazing on real instruments! There are 23 more duets too remember.

Examples of the included duets include; 'Desert Scape' (with ethereal timbral trills for a shimmering effect), 'The Chase'.... a comedy romp (imagine a cartoon chase; Tom and Jerry etc!), 'Seventh Heaven' a swing jaunt, 'I baroqued it' (a baroque-inspired fast paced duet), plus Celtic flavoured duets and more....

This is the sequel collection to the popular '40 Graded Flute Duets' (Grades 1-5) by Keri Degg. Also available in Saxophone, and clarinet editions.

Der Komponist J. B. de Boismortier (1682-1765) hat den Spielern der Querflote viele Werke gewidmet. Er schrieb zahlreiche Sonaten fur zwei Floten und Sonaten fur Flote und Generalbass, aber auch Zyklen von Sonaten fur drei Floten ohne Bass und mit Bass sowie Konzerte fur funf Floten. Der Komponist lebte in der ersten Blutezeit der Flotenmusik, als das Instrument von vielen Liebhabern bevorzugt wurde, die immer wieder neue Werke suchten. In diesem Werk fur die Anfanger des Flotenspiels bringt der Komponist nur Beispiele in den zu seiner Zeit auf der Flote spielbaren Tonarten. Diese folgen abwechselnd beiden Richtungen des Quintenzirkels, sodass von C-Dur aus die Vorzeichen schrittweise anwachsen. Damit ist dieses Werk sowohl eine Einfuhrung in das Lesen und Verstehen der Tonarten, als auch ein einzigartiges Werk im Bereich der fur den Unterricht gedachten Musik fur Melodieinstrumente.
