Duets in Color - Book 1. (Early to Mid-Intermediate Level). By Naoko Ikeda. For Piano/Keyboard. Willis. Early to Mid-Intermediate. 64 pages. Published by Willis Music.
Ikeda spent 3 years composing Duets in Color, a set of 24 vibrant, elegant piano duets in major and minor keys. The duets are divided into two volumes (Book 1 duets are all in major keys * Book 2 in minor), and pianists are encouraged to play them in pairs as well as separately. The parts are balanced beautifully * both inner and outer voices sing with clarity, and unexpected rhythmic and tonal surprises abound. Both volumes are a joy to play!
Contents: Blue Skies * Amethyst Stars * Colorful Reflections * Coral Sunrise * Emerald Ocean Waves * Golden Beaches * Green Fields in Spring * Pink Topaz * Scarlet Hearts * Yellow Mimosas in Bloom * Vivid Violet (Sea Breeze) * Magenta Waltz (Waltz of the Grapes).
