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.

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.
