Piano accompaniment backing tracks
Copland's Duo is one of his last compositions, written by him in 1971 at the age of 70. The outer movements in particular require both performers to listen to each other constantly, as the two parts are so intertwined. The underlying idiom is very American, with evocative melodies and blues influences.
These piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you listen to the piano part for this work. Please scroll down for samples and details of each movement.
