Page60 #17, Menuett

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 60 Number 17, Menuett, performed by David Summer. The title of this duet, "Menuett", is yet another spelling variation on the word "Minuet". The two flute parts are largely independent rhythmically. By the time a student gets to this part of the book, they should be getting fairly comfortable with rhythmically independent parts though. The tempo marking, Allegro molto, means very fast. But the duet should still be played in the context of a "Minuet" dance. There are no repeats taken and the metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 132.
