William s' Artistic Duets pick up where his 114 Easy Duets left off. They range from intermediate to advanced level and require much more stamina and endurance. Many are 3 pages long and demand a good facility on the instrument, increased range, flexibility, and adept reading skills to keep everything together. These are a wonderful collection that are an absolute staple of the repertoire. I am very pleased to have them on the store taking their place among the most import trumpet duet books in our history. For people who already have William's transposition method you will recognize some of these duets, while others are originals for this publication.

J. S. Bach's massive work, The Art of Fugue, is a summation of his powers as a composer of contrapuntal music. Each fugue is a masterpiece in its own right. Number 15 is an unfinished four-voice, quadruple fugue. Only the first three subjects are introduced, the third being a chromatic subject built from the letters of Bach's nameâ€â€B (B-flat), A, C, H (B-natural). Just at the point where all three subjects are combined, the manuscript breaks off, and C. P. E. Bach wrote in the score that the composer has died. Bach clearly intended that the original Art of Fugue theme was to be the final subject and all four themes would combine in a glorious climax. Whether he intended to finish the work or leave it up to others to complete is conjecture. About 8 minutes in length.
