Heller, Barbara: Dialogues

10 Duets for Violin and Violoncello

An exciting communicative musical journey: These Dialogues have the violin and cello adopting different personalities, temperaments and moods to ‘speak’ to one another. The titles of the pieces and descriptive headings, such as Chatting, Giggling or Contest, suggest how the pieces may be played. In order to make these ten chamber pieces accessible to students at various different levels, all the duets appear again without markings in the second section of the book, providing an opportunity to experiment with different bowings and fingerings.
