Lee Op. 126 Play Along Duets

Posted on March 9, 2021 by miriamtroxler

I recently finished recording all 22 of the duets. Each duet has a separate video for top and bottom parts. For the top parts, I stayed in first position as examples for online students. The lower parts I was more free in my position choices. You can listen to them here. I have them organized in a playlist on my YouTube channel.

If you create a virtual duet by recording yourself playing along with one of the parts, I’d love to see it.
