This is a collection of 42 traditional mazurkas, polkas, and waltzes, that are sure to inspire your musicianship. The distinctive flavor of these melodies reflect the persistence and joy of the Czech people through generations of political upheaval. When you play these tunes, you will gain a deeper insight into the works of Czech composers Dvorak, Smetana, and Janacek.
Warning: You should expect the unexpected when it comes to the time signatures. There are 13 different keys in total in this collection so this is a wonderful opportunity for those who want to widen their key signature comfort zones.
Each Tunes for Two collection consists of individual spiral-bound duet books presented in score form with melody on the top line and harmony beneath so you can play each tune by yourself or with others. The tunes are laid out so that there are no page turns to interrupt the flow of your playing. Duo arrangements of the tunes in this collection, in the same keys, are available for violins, violas, cellos, basses, and mandolins.
PDFs are available worldwide for each of the books in the Tunes for Two series.
