Rubank's Selected Duets for clarinet Volume I
Edited by Himie Voxman
Hal Leonard, publisher.

Pretty good book of duets, but it does require some technique.

Have fun!

Look into the Langenus method books. By volume 2, the duets are pretty fine ---and coordinated with the current level of instruction.

For beginners, Yamaha Duets, and Belwin Master Duets will get by in a pinch. Plenty of easy stuff with limited range. I have my ups and down with the quality of the arrangements.

Alfred publishes a nice one called "Learn to Play Clarinet Duets" by William Eisenhauer, but--as with the Rubank--only a few are really suitable for beginners.

I suggest that you check out the Yamaha and the Belwin, and then consider writing up some yourself.

Otto Langey "The Clarinet" has a good selection, as well as being a good method. These start simple and get difficult. In the early stages, the parts are marked "pupil" (the top melody line) and "teacher" (the bottom accompaniament). I used to play these with my teacher, and as most of them have 2 repeated sections, we would swap parts for the repeat. This was good sight-reading practice, as well as improving general musicianship by playing both lead and accompanying parts. I also endorse the Voxman mentioned above. There is also a book 2, but this is more challenging (and the music is more interesting).

"Clarinet Sessions" , is it still available? Also has trios and quartets, I believe. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
