Dotzauer, J. J. F. - Twelve Original Pieces for two cellos, Op. 58 — Physical copy

THIS IS THE PHYSICAL COPY OF THIS SCORE — for the digital version, see here.

The Twelve Original Pieces for Two Cellos, dedicated to beginners, op. 58, by Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer, are a beautiful collection of short duets, perfectly suited to be used both in the classroom and in the concert hall. While the first cello is clearly written to play the role of the protagonist, the second cello is not relegated to a mere accompaniment seat. As usual with Dotzauer, something that may have contributed to these gems remaining unearthed until now, these pieces do not follow an ascending order of difficulty. They are more or less equivalent in requiring up to the fourth position and not too many double stops, with some interesting bowing patterns here and there. Many forms are covered (there is even a fugue!), and none of them is in a slow tempo.
