"This is the first of a series of Gazda and Clark's Progressive Duets. This book provides beginning to intermediate string players opportunities to collaborate in multiple instrumental combinations and all three volumes of duets can be used in a class or chamber music setting. Much of the repertoire is based in folk and traditional music, but some classical and original compositions are also included. As titled, the music progresses in difficulty throughout the book. Most pieces are in simple meters, and in keys of C, G, D and F major. The parts are very equal in difficulty. These duos are great for introducing young string players to chamber music, and are also useful for sight reading practice in your studio or classroom." --A.C.F. --American String Teacher, February 2011
