Annotation : This work by Kraft is a collection of seven duos based on various musical composition styles including march, waltz, air, and pastorale. Kraft intended these duos to be used as studies and because of this, each utilizes various articulations, time signatures, and harmonies in the style of the duo. The range of the collection extends to Eb 4 , though the majority of the writing is confined to chalumeau and clarion registers.
