I am losing my clarinet teacher this fall and I am looking for other options in my small town. The (my) conductor of our student symphony (a trumpet player) said he would take me on if he could play duets with me. I need outside help with timing and theory more than anything else, so this might be a good option for me. Does anyone out there have any ideas on intermediate music that we could play together? Thanks

Hi Gardini,
I bet your town's bigger than mine!
My 12 yr old son plays the trumpet so I know about duets. As a clarinet player, you have the advantage of a 3+ octave range compared to his 2+ range.
Basically, you'll be able to play any music he shows you. The only problem will be volume. You'll have to play very loud to compete with him.
For duets, most books contain them, but it's probably best to stick to his trumpet duets. You'll have no problem playing from 'his' music, but he would probably have trouble playing from 'yours'.
I envy you. At least your trumpet player won't get bored after 5 minutes and start playing his Gameboy instead!!
Steve

Mozart wrote 12 duets for "horns." They're usually played on french horns, but there's speculation that they were for basset horns. These are the pieces that were actually thought up in a skittle alley (Kegelstatt).
They've been transcribed for all kinds of equal instruments. I got them in a trumpet version and played them with my trumpeter nephew. They're very good music and not difficult at all.
After that, the two of you can play just about any duets that are in trumpet range.

Any book of trumpet duets would be fine.
In particular, Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet, which I recommend that all clarinetists have in their personal library, has 68 short duets taken from opera literature, which will challenge your rhythmic reading.
The Voxman series, Selected Duets for Cornet/Trumpet, Volume 1 and 2, are also excellent for reading ...GBK

I remember studying with a trumpet player when I was in junior High and we
would always end each lesson with a few Arban duets. Good stuff.

Walter Hartley wrote 2 Dances for Clarinet and Trumpet (with piano accompaniment). Rather cute and not that hard - I would think a student could do it pretty easily.

Second the suggestions for Arban's. It's fun and I've never met a clarinetist who didn't benefit from the experience.

Composer Thomas Rice wrote a Trumpet & Clarinet Duet which is modern and pretty good. Title is
Carlson's Kit
Patty Carlson and her Husband Steven are who it was written for. Patty was my 1st Clarinet Teacher (she's Principal Clarinet VA. Philharmonic)
