By Daniel Gibson


Violinists and cellists can tell a beautifully written piece while playing it on their fingers. There is also a magical effect on the ears of a listener when such music plays. Unfortunately, the number of violin and cello duets worth playing or listening to is very small. If you find a good piece, you will be a lucky instrumentalist. Where can one find these musical scores worth the time?

Choose a composer whose duet you wish to perform. There are composers with a reputation of delivering excellent pieces for violinists and cellists. There are books with great pieces by different composers that you might want to try. These composers produced excellent pieces for different occasions. The best of composers have scores for amateurs and pros. This means that your options are sufficient.

Have you identified a specific musical piece that you would like to perform? The piece may have been mentioned in class or you heard other people practicing. This makes it easier to find it because a title already exists. Going to websites or books and searching a specific title is therefore easier and faster. Peers and mates will also find it easier to help.

Peers violinists or cello players have an idea of where you can find beautiful musical pieces. Some could be using the specific piece you are looking for or have a repository where you can get more of the rare pieces. Peers understand your mastery level and will therefore help you get scores that are within that range. Further, they will challenge you to take more difficult pieces in order to improve your skill level. Peers also encourage you to continue practicing and therefore become a better instrumentalist.

Check websites and platforms by orchestras or music schools. These groups interact with musical pieces on regular basis. This interaction increases the chances of getting specific music score or others that will help you become a better instrumentalist. Orchestras also upload videos of their performances that should inspire you to upgrade your skills. You can compare your performance with that of members of the orchestra.

Check websites that accompany their music scores with audios. This gives you a chance to listen to the audio before downloading. You are sure of the music you are downloading and do not have to wait for performance to know how it will sound. The audios must be expertly prepared and accurate. You will need these audios to gauge your performance. If your performance does not tally with that of the recorded audio, you will have a reason to revise your practice sessions.

Read reviews done by other cellists and violinists on the pieces they have interacted with. These are passionate instrumentalists who appreciate quality music. They have played the duet and can feel its quality. Their recommendations will focus on such areas as quality of composition, appropriateness of performance and skill level required. This will turn you into an excellent performer.

Practicing with quality musical sheets turns you into an incredible violinist or cellist. The pieces you use must therefore be expertly done. Choose a score sheet that is within your range of mastery. Ensure that such a piece is appropriate for the occasion you wish to perform. A word from a mentor or trainer will help.
