These melodious duets composed in the inimitable Williams musical style, for teacher and student, progressing from beginner to intermediate level. There has always been a deficiency in the number of easy (easier) duet books for trumpet. Ones that occupy a more narrow range and are approachable by players in their first few years of study. This one is an absolute classic.

Bob Nelson and Aaron Harris' '32 Original Duets,' from the Charles Colin Complete Modern Method includes Sixty-Six pages of classically oriented duets written for the intermediate-level player to develop independence and confidence in ensemble playing. If you are familiar with Bob Nelson's great collection of Advanced Duets and the great etude books of Aaron Harris you will have a very good idea of what to expect here. Very idiomatically written, very accessible and easy to read, and a great compliment to the contemporary duet literature for the trumpet.

Advanced Duets, from Themes of Famous Composers, by Bob Nelson. For advanced players. These are challenging duets, in four volumes, based on the works of the masters, in particular J.S. Bach, and themes drawn from his keyboard works (the Inventions, The Well-Tempered Clavier, etc.). This is an excellent addition to the literature for high trumpets.

In this volume, you will find 15 of J.S. Bach's beautiful Two-Part Inventions, and 2 of his Minuets, transcribed and arranged for two trumpets. Skillfully transcribed by Carmelo Barranco, these duets are a perfect way for trumpeters to develop endurance, agility, style, and musicality.

Carmelo Barranco's transcription of 'Bach Dances for the Trumpet and Piccolo Trumpet' includes excerpts of Bach's Minuettos, Gavottes, Polonaise, Bourees, Sarabands, Hymns, and Marches. This is a rare and intriguing book because it is laid out in such a way as to allow for performance of these works on both the Bb/C trumpet as well as the piccolo trumpet. Younger players can enjoy the challenge of performing these pieces in a comfortable range, while advanced players can work up to the top of the staff on the A piccolo, very suitable to the time period and intention of the music.

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.
