Description
Compiled, edited, and arranged by Patrick M. Liebergen, "A Soprano's Duet Book" features ten masterwork duets that represent a wide range of styles and composers from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic Periods brought together for the first time in one collection. Also included in this collection is historical information, thorough IPA pronunciation guides, translations, and suggestions for performance, making it an indispensable resource for duet singing. If instrumental accompaniments were included in the original scores, then the keyboard accompaniments are reductions of those parts. Optional instrumental parts are also included for select pieces.
