Oscar Franz's 100 Duets, Book 1, arranged by Lorenzo Sansone, contains the first 53 selections in a two-volume collection for two horns. Southern Music assigns this volume a Level 3 rating, making it the less demanding of the two books. This is Book 1 only, rather than all 100 duets in a single volume.
The paired format offers a useful way to bring ensemble listening into an individual lesson or a practice session with another hornist. Teachers can use the duets to explore matching tone, agreeing on phrase direction, and keeping attacks and releases together. Playing both lines in turn can also help students hear how their own part fits into the complete texture.
Published by Southern Music as B136, this 28-page edition provides material for regular duet reading alongside solo studies. Book 2 continues the collection at a higher published difficulty level.
