**Annotation** : Written by the lesser-known brother of operatic composer Gaetano Donizetti, this
duo is intended for two equal players. The work is composed in Italian lyric style and it is clear
from the writing that the composer understood the clarinet and its capabilities well. The range of
this duo extends to F4 . The overall technical demands of this three movement work are moderate,
but ensemble matching in articulation and phrasing will be challenging for younger students.
