For the avant-garde hornist,
C h r i s t i a n Wolff's Duet II for
horn and piano is offered by the
C.F. Peters Corporation. Both
parts are w r i t t e n on a single
sheet and use a limited number
of staves. The music incor-
p o r a t e s some i m a g i n a t i v e
devices: symbols w r i t t e n as
alphabet letters; notes w i t h no
pitch indication, permitting the
soloist a free choice in selecting
tones; and sound i n d i c a t i o n s
such as glisses, noise, and tim-
bre a l t e r a t i o n . The 2'/2 pages of
instructions for interpreting
these symbols are more com-
prehensive than the playing
part. (Grade V, $4)
