New Music at JB Linear
 
From
Granados Waltzes
Granados duets
Armstrong and Leehey - a set of four duets by Granados for intermediate flute and clarinet.
 
Four waltzes from Granados' "Ocho Valses Poeticos", originally written for piano solo, now transcribed for flute and clarinet duo. This set includes "Melodioso", "Tempo de valse noble", "Tempo de valse lente", and Allegro humoristico". Simple, yet elegant and charming. Although these are in the "intermediate" category, they are well suited for advanced players who love the music of Granados.
