Annotation: This obscure duo is comprised of five movements in classical style forms, structured similar to other classical divertimenti. The range of this work rarely exceeds C4 and the tonal writing makes it an ideal duo for students in the intermediate level. The most striking feature of this work is the frequency in which the composer utilizes ornamentation. This is a great duo by which to teach the stylistic differences between early classical ornamentation and romantic ornamentation.
