[PDF]Duet of Melodies at E. Köhler 15 Easy Exercises

This is the fourth duo collection, following “Flute Duo Masterpieces 25 vol.1”, “Flute Duo Masterpieces 25 vol.2”, and “Little Wings of Mozart”. In addition to these works, he has also released several Disney and Studio Ghibli works, but there is a big difference between these works and this one. In the previous works, they were arranged in a subtractive manner, leaving only the necessary elements for the duet, which was a subtraction of the melody and the polyphonic part of the accompaniment. This time, however, the melody is a single melody of the etude. I added the melody to the arrangement, or rather, I composed another part of the melody while supplementing it with my imagination to find out what kind of resonance it would have.

Players of monophonic instruments, including the flute, tend to be less conscious of harmony.
　As I have worked with many duets, I have come to realize that lessons in “sound” have the tremendous effect of fostering the ability to imagine music without even realizing it. The growth of the students, young and old, is remarkable.

 

The unaccompanied flute etude is made into a duet by adding a second part to the unaccompanied flute etude.
It may not be what Köhler intended, but I hope you will use it to help you understand the music so that the etudes are not just mechanical training exercises, so that you don’t get lost in the labyrinth of unaccompanied music, so that there is learning in the joy of the ensemble.
