IGNAZ PLEYEL (1757-1831): 6 Duos for 2 Violins, Op. 23.

Description: Dating from 1789, these are virtusoic works with taxing material for both performers and would seem to be somewhat beyond the skills of salon performers. Four are in Allegro-Rondo. Allegro form while two have three movements, each with a slow one offering charming and emotional cantilenas to offset the fast music's brilliance. Vilmos Szabadi, Béla Bánfalvi (violins).
