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

Par CURTIS MIKE. The huapango is a popular dance originating on the east coast of Mexico. Its subtle alternation of 2 and 3 can be demonstrated in this recitation: MEX-ico, EC-uador, CHI-le, COS-ta, RI-ca. These dances can be likened to diarist entries written during an extended stay in Mexico's west coast state of Nayarit. Following each sultry day of exploring the beaches, I would come back to the bungalow and seek out a spezial cool corridor to put pencil to staff. The titles reveal favorite places and the name of our esteemed bungalow manager, Ofelia Silva. The addition of an improvising percussionist could enhance performance./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle
