Williams' Artistic Duets pick up where his 114 Easy Duets left off. They range from intermediate to advanced level and require much more stamina and endurance. Many are 3 pages long and demand a good facility on the instrument, increased range, flexibility, and adept reading skills to keep everything together. These are a wonderful collection that are an absolute staple of the repertoire. I am very pleased to have them on the store taking their place among the most import trumpet duet books in our history. For people who already have William's transposition method you will recognize some of these duets, while others are originals for this publication.

A compendium of contrapuntal gems - 45 in all - drawn largely from the enduring works of the great baroque masters: Vivaldi's concerto's; Handel's organ concertos, Fireworks Music, and Water Music; and J.S. Bach's partitas, orchestral suites, concerti grossi, harpsichord and violin concertos, and preludes and fugues from The Well Tempered Clavier (Books I and II). A few of the duets are within the capability of beginning students. For example, the familiar Shaker tune Simple Gifts, many require intermediate level proficiency, but most will challenge - and reward - the advanced player. Excellent material for those wishing to improve their technique on the high trumpets.
