edition 1 April 2009.www.pjb.com.auThree DuetsThese three duets
were written with two utes particularly in mind, but arealso
intended for any two treble-clef instruments; violins would also be
excellent,and ute and violin perhaps best of all.They are just
playable on recorders. When played on recorders, the rst
andthirdshouldbeplayedwithtwo
Altorecorders,andthesecondwithAltoandTenor.Thefollowingtemposuggestionsareeditorialonly,
andshouldbedisregarded with a clear conscience. The rst movement,
Flowing, might be
besttakenatbetween112and120crochetsperminute,thesecondmovement,Sustained,
at between say 72 and 92 crochets per minute, and the third
movement,Lively, between100and126crochetsperminute.
