Jack Gale Duet #1
Slama #22
I absolutely love the Anton Slama book. There are so many studies in here which start like a basic scale exercise, but then take you someplace completely different. Many others are much more like a Bordogni vocalise. Regardless of style, tempo, or key (all sharps and flats found in here!), they always interest me.
In #22, I like to disregard the tempo marking of Moderato in order to get the whole thing done in one breath. Slide position suggestions are useful with a straight horn, but don’t make a lot of sense with an F attachment. The key is to practice difference lines slowly, and frequently switching the target areas, always staying cool and relaxed.
Allegro (Mozart)
Moderato (Telemann)
This is a great little duet that several of my students have played recently. The leading part is actually written up an octave from what I played, but still works well if you’re not feeling up to a high D5.
This post includes individual audio parts! Metronome click too. Just download and play along!
Devienne — Allegro
First duet I’m posting, recorded in a rush but I feel like I’m getting the hang of video editing!
