Composed by Max Reger
for Flute Duet
Arranged by Robert Rainford
Published by Forton Music
Includes score and parts

Two duets by Max Reger, arranged for two flutes. The first movement is a complete canon, with the second player entering after half a bar. The second duet has a similar feel but is more fugal, with the second part being more independant of the first. This contrapuntal texture gives the music a Baroque feel, but the wide ranging keys, multiple time changes and dramatic dynamics add a more Romantic dimension to the pieces.
