The duets are divided into two volumes (Book 1 duets are all in major keys; Book 2 in minor), and pianists are encouraged to play them in pairs as well as separately. The parts are balanced beautifully; both inner and outer voices sing with clarity, and unexpected rhythmic and tonal surprises abound. Both volumes are a joy to play!
