About
Duo is a beautifully crafted collection of pieces from Trinity’s 2020–2023 Violin repertoire, reimagined as violin duets. For each piece, the Violin 1 part is the same as the candidate’s part in the graded exam book and Violin 2 is a reduction of the piano accompaniment, intended for a teacher or a more advanced student to play. These two-violin arrangements can be used by teachers who prefer to accompany on the violin or who don’t have access to a piano in their teaching environment. They are great performance pieces for two students of different levels or for a teacher–student combination. Playing together and listening to the Violin 2 part can help a learner understand the underlying structure of the accompaniment before meeting with a pianist. At the same time, the Violin 2 part presents an enjoyable playing challenge for the duet partner. Please note that the arrangements in this book may not be used in Trinity exams.
