Playing in a duo is great fun for professional musicians and amateurs alike and can inspire creative music making. These pieces represent encounters between two people, with each of the nine compositions taking a specific moment or mood as its theme. Titles and indications of style and tempo will give performers ideas for interpretation, with markings relating to technique, articulation, bowing and fingerings offered for guidance. For players who would like to work out their own interpretation of these Dialogues, the second section of the book includes an unmarked score of the same pieces (with no indications of dynamics, fingerings, bowings, articulation or phrasing). This additional score is intended for use by instrumental teachers who wish to work with their pupils on marking up and arranging pieces of music for string instruments.These Dialogues are aimed at young people and adult musicians, too. They may be played as a cycle in the order given in this book, or else combined at will. Individual Dialogues may serve as useful teaching material, for student auditions or for inclusion in student concerts or chamber performances. Their musical content and brevity make these duets particularly suitable repertoire for youth music competitions. The overall duration of the set of Dialogues is about fifteen minutes.

The ensemble music, implemented from the very first instrument courses, allows the student to become better acquainted with 'technical' elements such as rhythm, bowing and intonation. These small pieces for violins only can be prepared within the class, without the need to add external elements.The first 20 pieces require the same level of study for each component of the ensemble; nos. from no. 21 to no. 24 involve a more experienced violinist alongside one who plays only empty strings; from no. 25 to no. 32 there are pages of various kinds.Duets and trios mostly follow a traditional language: only some of them introduce a sparing use of dissonance. In any case, the score printing helps the control - visual also - of the other parts.

The easy violin duos by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Gustav Lenzewski, have always been very popular. Wolfgang Birtel has re-edited the collection, adopting the entire arrangement except for a few movements and adding further well-known pieces by Bach. The level of difficulty ranges from very easy to advanced. The original fingering and bowing have all been maintained; numerous articulation marks, however, have been deleted as they do no longer correspond to the modern way of playing Baroque music. The ideal edition for music lessons or music-making at home.
