These duets by Simon Le Duc (1742-1777) were first published in 1771, and are ideal for lessons, auditions, and amateur music making.
“Young fiddlers can hone true chamber-music skills in these charming and imaginative duos and try out their best spiccato bowing in the cheerful, witty prestos that end each of the sonatas. There is also ample opportunity to bring out a singing tone in the plaintive andante movements...this is a fine reprinting that secures a treasured place in my duo repertory for young, intermediate-level fiddlers.”--Strings magazine
