EmilyGF Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hi, I know this is a stretch, I'm trying to find a good duet (?) for my violinist daughter and pianist son to play together. Both teachers have said, "Great idea!" but when I ask for a specific piece, each defers to the other. Both kids like classical music a lot. Violinist daughter is in Suzuki book level 7 and pianist son is playing Beethoven Concertos. There are a lot of violin "solos" with piano accompaniment, but I'd rather them play something where both instruments are equals. Thanks for the help, Emily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You might need to modify pieces for Piano and Violin. This trio did Schubert's Standchen/Serenade for Piano, Violin, and Cello. (it actually starts at the 0:51 point after the Chinese introduction) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loesje22000 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Taking a look at IMSLP makes me think there is enough, just have to pick something… https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:For_violin,_piano I always find a lot of works on IMSLP but don’t play piano or violin myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I love this piece, I don't know how hard or easy it is to find the sheet music. The Japanese title would be transcribed as "sen no kaze ni natte": https://youtu.be/AtLxFuI-rVg Edited October 3, 2021 by maize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Here's a decent list of some chamber pieces, a number marked as violin/piano duos to check out. That might be a good way to google further, music marked as chamber music would probably generally be more equal in parts. http://www.gloriachien.com/chamber-music-by-category/ I love this! I have a piano son and a violin daughter, piano son is off to college though and I miss the piano playing! They did some duet playing back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Beethoven's Spring Sonata is lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Suzuki Level 7 is no quite as advanced as Beethoven Concerto. So my first suggestion is that you look at pieces based in the violinist's capabilities, not the pianist. Mozart's Violin and Piano Sonata duet K304 might be a good one for them to wet their teeth on. It is a lovely piece, but not taxing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
