Bohuslav Martinu's Duo No.1 for Violin and Cello. CONTENTS: 1. Preludium, 2. Rondo. Born in Bohemia in 1890, Bohuslav Martinu was already composing by the age of ten. In 1906, he was able to study violin with Josef Suk at the Prague Conservatorium with the assistance of a patron. He was however more interested in composition and he went on to study this with Albert Roussel in Paris. His music was influenced by jazz, Stravinsky and Debussy whom he admired immensely.
The collection has been thoughtfully designed to enable instrumental beginners with as little as two or three years of study to play together harmoniously.
Bach Twenty Duets for Violin and Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, published by Boosey & Hawkes, is a charming and instructive collection that develops ensemble skills through elegant musical conversation.
