Overview
Introducing János Lavotta's Easy Duos for Two Violins, Op. 49, a valuable collection of fourteen progressive duos that combine artistic merit with clear educational intent. János Lavotta (1764–1820) was a renowned composer and violinist, celebrated as one of the "virtuoso trio" of Hungarian music, alongside János Bihari and Antal Csermák, who were pioneers of the expressive verbunkos style.
Although designed for home music-making, these duos function as an excellent pedagogical resource. The pieces are structured to increase gradually in technical and musical difficulty, featuring relatively short, manageable melodies and sequence-like structures that allow beginner violinists to practice specific elements. This first-ever publication of the Easy Duos, released on the 250th anniversary of Lavotta's birth, is meticulously edited by János Dombóvári, who has added essential fingering and performance instructions, making this work highly suitable for achieving significant progress in early violin studies.
Áttekintés (Hungarian)
Bemutatjuk Lavotta János Könnyű duók két hegedűre, Op. 49 című értékes gyűjteményét, amely tizennégy fokozatosan nehezedő duót tartalmaz, ötvözve a művészi értéket a világos pedagógiai szándékkal. Lavotta János (1764–1820) neves zeneszerző és hegedűművész volt, a magyar zene „virtuóz-triászának” egyik tagja, aki Bihari Jánossal és Csermák Antallal együtt a kifejező verbunkos zene úttörője volt.
Bár a duók valószínűleg házi muzsikálás céljára is szolgáltak, kiváló pedagógiai forrásként is funkcionálnak. A tizennégy darab mind technikai, mind zenei szempontból fokozatosan nehezedő sort alkot. A viszonylag rövid, kezdő növendék számára is átfogható dallamok és a szekvenciaszerű felépítés lehetővé teszik az egyes technikai elemek begyakorlását. E kötet, amely Lavotta születésének 250. évfordulójára jelent meg, Dombóvári János gondos szerkesztésében látott napvilágot, aki ellátta a műveket szükséges ujjrenddel és előadói utasításokkal, ezáltal jelentős haladást segítve a kezdő hegedűsök számára.

Interesting Facts
- The Virtuoso Trio: Lavotta, Bihari, and Csermák are considered central figures in developing Hungarian national music in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. They were instrumental in evolving the verbunkos—originally a military recruiting dance—into a sophisticated concert and dance music style that greatly influenced later composers like Liszt and Bartók.
- Historical Pedagogy: Music historian Mária Domokos noted that these duos were of such quality they could have been included in the syllabus of any contemporary music school, underscoring Lavotta's clear focus on education.
- Musical Structure: The duos utilize sequence-like structures and temperately applied modulations, which are ideal methods for reinforcing foundational technical elements like shifting, scale passages, and key changes without overwhelming the student.
