Little Suite for Any Two Instruments
These duets were written for the composer’s niece who is a violin teacher who wanted a piece with easier parts on top and more advanced parts on the bottom.

Each part is adjusted in range to accommodate all orchestral and band woodwind and brass instruments. The five movements may be performed as a set or individually. Little Serenade has some easy meter changes. Little Waltz makes use of a counter melody and is in arch form. Little Dance uses canon and imitation. Little Lullaby is in 6/8. Little March has several themes separated by fanfare interludes. Easy Intermediate
