Please recommend a good book of duets, or even just a few duets for beginner clarinet and flute. both players have been playing for about a year, and the clarinetist knows all of the fingerings from low E to c above the staff. i assume the flutist is at the same level. This would be for these kids to work on while the rest of the group, which is slower, works on more basic stuff. Slow, beautiful melodies that enable concentration on tone would be most useful.
Thanks very much.

I like the Rubank books for flute and clarinet edited by Voxman. The variety is good. My wife and I play in the first book and trade off on flute since we are not flute players but enjoy trying.

Besides the Voxman collection of flute/clarinet duets, another book on a more elementary level is "Take Your Partner" (JB Cramer/Belwin Mills/Boosey Hawkes).
This series is written for Flute/Clarinet, Alto Sax/Tenor Sax, Violin/Viola, etc...
A scan of the cover is attached ...GBK

Now this is one of the reasons I frequent this forum! I got my copies of the referenced Rubank clarinet/flute duet books at music44.com. I checked amazon and jwpepper but they made it hard for me to locate these books. And the price was excellent. Now, if I can learn how to hold the flute when you have no keys pushed. ;o)

One ALWAYS has at least one key pressed down, which is more than can be said for clarinet. At at the very least, there are 3 more supporting contact points which support the insrument. All in all, there are at least 4 supports, each one of them from a different direction. Just apply an appropriate force to each one :-)

My office and music are a mess, so I can't confirm this, but try JB Linear on line for flute/clarinet duets.

My two cents - the arrangements at JB Linear are often quite poor; I'd print off the free samples and try them before buying. At times, both players end up with simultaneous multiple bars of rests, and/or the harmony without anyone playing the melody.
A very extensive selection of flute-clarinet duets is in the 3 volumes of Andraud's Duo Concertantes - some very easy, some very difficult. Available at e.g.,
www.luybenmusic.com, www.sheetmusicplus.com, or www.hickeys.com.
Each volume (includes both parts) is about $US 10-12.
BTW, I agree that the 2 volumes (78 pieces) edited by Voxman are a great collection.
