Methodical Course of Duets for Two Cellos, Vol. 5 3 Difficult Duets, Opus 52by Jacques OffenbackEdition by Cyrille Tricoire and Jean-Christophe KeckCD of Recordings and Accompaniments Included"Offenbach's Cours methodique de duos pour deux violoncelles keeps to the sequence in which the positions of the left hand are generally taught. ... The pieces are composed with a didactic aim, but this aim will quickly be forgotten once the performer succumbs to the charm of the compositions' musical depth. ... The recording is set up in such a way that the pupil practicing at home can select one voice or the other by adjusting the balance on his or her CD player, or else listen to both voices together. The tempi chosen, while seeking to retain the character of Offenback's notation, have deliberately been kept calm, so that everyone can play along with the CD. ... Enjoy your work, and enjoy the music!" - Cyrille Tricoire, from the Preface. Difficulty: A4-5 (Apprentice Rating: Intermediate to Advanced)
