Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.

I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.

As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.

Das kunstlerische Wirken des Komponisten und Dirigenten Wilhelm Furtwangler war ein Leben lang begleitet von dem Bemuhen, sich daruber auch theoretisch Rechenschaft zu geben. Zahlreiche Aufzeichnungen belegen das. So spannt sich ein weiter Bogen uber diese Aufsatze und Vortrage aus den Jahren 1918 bis 1954. Der Reichtum der Themen, die Allgemeingultigkeit der Problemstellung, die Gedanken und Auffassungen sind aus der Schule des Lebens selbst, aus der unmittelbaren Erfahrung von Werk und Publikum erwachsen. Furtwangler setzt sich in diesen Arbeiten mit grundsatzlichen Fragen, so u.a. der Werktreue, der Programmgestaltung, der kunstlerischen Verantwortung, der modernen Musik, auseinander und entwickelt seine Gedanken uber Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner, Hindemith, Strawinsky und andere Komponisten.
