Noted as one of the most important violin pedagogues of the 19th century, Mazas was not afraid to challenge his students to become stronger players. These duets constitute Mazas' thoughts on the playing violin duets where the objectives are to develop ensemble playing, musicianship, and technical ability in young players. The "violin 1" part features the greater of the musical interest while the "violin 2" part acts as an accompaniment. A great opportunity for teachers who want their students to learn how to play in a duet setting.
If you enjoyed Mazas melodious studies you will have fun playing these also.
