Wanted, Duet Books?

[pompatus]

Does anyone have a recommendation for good duet books? I’m meeting with a friend early next week, and would love to have something fun to play through. If it’s on amazon so I can have it prime delivered within a couple of days, that would be best.

Thanks!

If one of you plays bass trombone: "Ten duets for Tenor and Bass Trombone" by Tommy Pederson.

There are the Rochut counterparts if you already have the main book

How difficult do you want?

There are some duet books by Keith Snell. 3 different levels. The Intermediate and Advanced levels are interesting.

Rubank Duets edited by Voxman. 2 books: Beginner/Intermediate and Advanced.

Blazhevich Duets (this is pretty tough going; not a sight read).

There are lots of other books to consider. Have a gander at Hickey's Music.

one of the best duo books i've ever seen is Rob Boone's arrangement of Bach Cantatas. you can order it on his page, but i don't see it on amazon

Are these compatible with all versions of the Rochut? I’ve only got the Mulcahy version on me atm.

These are some great suggestions, thank you! For now, I’ll grab the Blazhevich, since I can have it here Monday, but those Bach Cantatas are enticing as is the Pederson.

I don't know, I have the original/Fischer edition. I don't even have the counterparts unfortunately, I just remember playing them with a professor at a masterclass some years ago so I just googled rochut duets.

It depends a bit on the style and purpose you want I think.
As mentioned, Blazhevich Concert Duets are a good workout, lots of clef changes, pretty classical
I like 28 Vignettes for Two Trombones by Richard Fote, which has a variety of styles and very accessible.
More swingy is 12 Jazz Duets by Jack Gale. I also have a Jazz Duets by Harry Ledger which are good, but doubtful that you can find it easily.

I second the Rubank duets. But both basic and advanced - they're cheap. You'll be kept plenty busy and the firsts tend to be interesting/fun to play.
