Graded Sight Reading Duets
from Grade 1 to 4
There is a score, which is probably easier to play from since each player
can follow the other.
Included are separate parts where each player has to rely more on an
accurate sense of pulse and an understanding of the other player's interpretation.
The pieces are not so much about sight-reading as to develop the ability
to play in ensemble; to listen and keep in time, follow dynamics and expression.
I'd like very much any thoughts you have on these since I have not come
across any similar exercise elsewhere.

Sem' Tants Kukol
Lyrical Waltz, Gavotte, Romance, Polka, The Little Ballerina, Hurdy-Gurdy ,
Dance .
In 1944-45, Shostakovich wrote his Children's Notebook (opus 69), an
album of easy piano pieces, for his daughter, Galya. This second album
of children's piano pieces followed in 1952. These dances are derived
from material from ballet suites that he wrote in 1949-50. They exist
in both orchestral and piano versions. The melodies are lively and tuneful,
though Shostakovich's sudden modulations into remote keys ensure that
they never become banal.
This duet arrangement shares the melody and accompaniment between the
two guitars where appropriate, especially in the last piece, Dance, where
the parts become 'conversational', copying phrases from one another.
