25THREE BRILLIANT VIOLIN DUETS
26On Scottish and Irish Airs, arranged for the use of Amateur and Professional Players. (Without Accompaniment).
28By A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER.
29Author of "The Violin: How to Master it," &c.
31Note by the Author.—The music capable of being produced by two violins is delightfully sweet and pure, and less distracting to the untrained ear than much of that having a pianoforte accompaniment. Little has been done as yet in this direction by composers, and I have been induced to publish these duets by the enthusiasm with which they have invariably been received when performed in public by myself and my girl. In introducing the novel and pleasing effects of two quartettes, a flute accompanied by a harp, a tenor singer accompanied by a harp, &c., I have only shown feebly the power of two violins, and indicated how others with more time and ability than I can command may follow up my efforts. With such pieces players are also quite independent of a bad accompanist and undismayed by the absence of a pianoforte.
