10 Duets. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY). A violinist and a cellist having fun together! Whoever heard of such a thing? But that is exactly what Alexey Igudesman has provided for in his 'Violin and Violoncello and More”. He has responded to popular demand and arranged - no, recreated! - duets from his previous publications for two violins. These encompass many different styles but always with Alexsey's own individual and quirky touch. The contents list reads like a world tour, passing through Scotland, Ireland, Israel, Khazakhstan and many other countries. Igudesman took great care to 'custom make” the cello part as he wanted these arrangements to be as musically valuable as his original versions. He encourages the players to be creative, adding improvisation or even choreography but, above all, to have fun. These pieces will suit intermediate players who want to be stretched or more advanced students who simply want to let their hair down!/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Fragment-Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his Duo For Violin And Violoncello whilst he was still in Bonn perhaps in 1792 the year he departed for Vienna. It is not known whether he completed his work as only thebeginning of a fast sonata movement has survived. It is on a page in a collection of sketch leaves that is today known as the ?Kafka Miscellany?. Robert D. Levin has completed this fragment in the same style and thus for the firsttime it is in a version that can be performed.This Henle Edition contains two performance scores of the lively showpiece thus guaranteeing an optimal duo experience. A welcome addition to the repertoire.
