Violin Playtime Duets is a versatile anthology of duets for young players, suitable either for a pupil to play with a teacher (ideal for situations where no piano is available), or for two players of similar ability. Paul de Keyser's unusual and stimulating selection of material ranges from classics of the 17th and 18th centuries, such as Purcell, Lully, Krieger and Rameau, to folk tunes from Eastern and Western Europe. Teachers will welcome this as a useful adjunct to Violin Playtime Books 1-3.
