Bass Clef Duets Book 1 for 2 double basses edited and arranged by David Heyes
Bass Clef Duets Book 1 is the first of a series of books for two double basses. Edited and arranged by David Heyes, the duets are useful as sight-reading music for the teacher and student, as fun pieces to play with friends, or as accessible and inventive repertoire to play in recital. Each piece has been carefully selected and edited with all three aims in mind and Book 1 brings together ten composers from the 16th to the 20th-century. 1. Thomas Morley (1557-1602) - Canzonet. 2. František Černý (1861-1940) 3. W.A. Mozart (1756-1791) - Menuetto & Trio is adapted from '12 Duette' for 2 basset horns. 4. Francesco Durante (1684-1755) - Duet in F major was arranged by Otto Langey (1851-1922) and included in his Practical Method for Double Bass. 5.
