Annotation : This collection of duets by Kueffner are titled as easy, but in reality the difficulty of the duos is progressive. They begin simply homophonic or in canon (Grade II) and end with much more independence (Grade III). These duets are short, but diverse making them ideal for quick sightreading practice in a lesson.
