The Carl Fischer Progressive Duets for Strings is a comprehensive publication
of two volumes of graded duets that have been arranged or composed by
Larry Clark and Doris Gazda. Larry and Doris have drawn on their extensive
experience as school music teachers and prominent composer/arrangers
to create a collection of duets that will be useful in a variety of performance
situations. Playing duets is an excellent way for the student to build ensemble
skills with a colleague or teacher. It is published for violin, viola, cello and
bass, and is arranged so that it can be performed by any two of these string
instruments, making the collection a valuable tool in the school classroom as
well. It is a collection that is long overdue.
