About this item
Volume 2 of the 44 duos contains 19 medium-heavy songs and dances of Eastern European folk music for two violins (Pieces 26-44). Apart from two exceptions mentioned in the relevant passages, the pieces are always based on a peasant melody. They are arranged according to the level of difficulty, so that the player can follow his progress better, and well suited for concerts. It is advisable to present a selection of the pieces in a group or in several groups "attaca" during the concert lecture. The edition contains suggestions for such groupings.
