Three Little Duets for Equal Clarinets

Clarinet duet
Beginner

Suitable for solo and ensemble contest, “Three Little Duets” introduces young players to chamber ensemble music. The pieces are aimed at second-year (or late first-year) students who are comfortable with some independence of lines. Neither part crosses the break, which allows students to focus on fundamentals. The duets can be performed by any two clarinets of the same type.
