Description
James Paisible, Complete Duets from Manuscripts and Printed Collections for Two Alto Recorders.
Edited by David Lasocki. Published October 2012. IH0020.
No fewer than six sonatas plus ten miscellaneous movements.
Praise:
“David Lasocki has compiled an extraordinary resource…. All of these pieces would be accessible for an intermediate player, while also providing a variety of musical challenges for advanced players. Many of the sonata movements could be useful for teaching students when and how to shape phrases, ornamentation and sensitivity in playing a tightly composed duet. Both parts are equally important, with the voices often crossing and imitating each other…. This is a great collection! Keep them coming!”
