Par . String duets tend to be somewhat upstaged by other instrumentations for string chamber music?especially string quartets, yet the string duet is an ideal introduction to the world of chamber music for anyone who is learning an instrument. Fabian Payr and Ruth Bamberger have selected 15 suitable harpsichord works from the Baroque period and have arranged them for two string instruments. These easily playable duet pieces are especially appropriate as material for instrumental lessons but also as repertoire for student performances. They encourage the study of Baroque performance practice and promote the somewhat overlooked subject of chamber music ensemble playing. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Alto et Violoncelle

Beethoven probably originally planned a complete string duo with four movements. Aside from the introductory movement a minuet has also survived that is likewise published here. This single edition taken from the establishedvolume 'String Trios and String Duos' (HN192) will certainly secure many new friends for this original work.
