Thanks for the web link, Mark. I have both the Schuller and the Deason, and they're not my cuppa tea musically--very moderne & very difficult--and I'm a little discouraged that the clt/bclt literature may be pretty much of that ilk across the board.
I have had a lot of fun, however, with a collection of Beethoven duets for violin & cello (Kalmus/Belwin Mills/Warner Bros, K04694) and have kinda/sorta thought about investigating violin/cello duet literature a little further. Any recommendations along those lines?
We usually read the vln/cello parts in the original key (which challenges a bassist's facility to both read AND transpose tenor clef, when the cello goes there). The pesky transpositions, though, are a small price to pay for being able to play wonderful music.
BTW, I haven't checked Hite for this kind of thing. Anyone have any other ideas?
cheers
DougR

9 Expressions by Alireza Maschayeki( Universal Edition) and Duo Sonata by Gunther Schuller(Associated Music Publishers). Both are quite challenging.

Beethoven has three Duos for clarinet and Bassoon (I don't remember the Opus). The scores have a partition for flute in C. So reading the C part with the Bb and the bassoon part with the Bass, that goes! a nice piece, not very difficult.

Hi,
I did a search for bass - Bb duets and turned up this decade-old thread. Does anyone know if any good duets that have emerged in the interim?
David.

In some editions of the Bach cantatas: in the arias, the score shows only the voice line and a figured bass line. Perhaps you could play some of those. You would of course be missing the filled-in harmonies.

Thanks Ken, that looks good. Love playing Beethoven.
Thanks also Davyd. I guess I had something more dedicated in mind - something that set out to be complete with the two clarinets. Looks like rummaging in the archives of violin-cello music is still the way to go?
Still only at the start of my search, but fascinating to me that there isn't more that's right-to-hand.
David.

There's a few clarinet/bass clarinet duets on the Clarinet Institute website and they are free to download and print.

Pedro Rubio has some very good music for bass clarinet including duets for 2 instruments, well worth seeing what there is available. I have stocked his studies for some time now and are very informative.
