Annotation : It’s not often that one finds a work that is composed by two individuals, but this is an instance where that is true. According to sources, Yost was compositionally minded, but lack training. Vogel completed the manuscripts and assisted in the composition of the duos. The work is typical for this time period, featuring classical forms, ornaments, and passage work. The writing of the first movement may prove to be intimidating to young students, as it is written with thirty-second notes.
