Description
Pleyel was once described by his teacher Haydn as his most illustrious student. Indeed many of his works demonstrate a witty yet elegant compositional style. This arrangement of the Duet opus 8 no. 2 introduces students to the disciplines of Classical period music in a most delightful way. The main sections highlight different parts of the ensemble. Techniques such as spiccato quavers, slurred string crossings, martele crotchets abound and are all quite manageable.
