Quirky. Electrifying. Unmistakably Prokofiev.
This intermediate violin and cello duet arrangement of Sergei Prokofiev’s Tarantella bursts with character, rhythmic drive, and just the right amount of chaos. An upper-intermediate chamber piece, it’s packed with edgy, dynamic passages that give both players a turn in the spotlight — making it as fun to play as it is thrilling to hear.
Difficulty – Late Intermediate may contain: 1st to 6th position, more frequent double stopping using two fingers, easy to intermediate 3 and 4 string chords

With its manic energy and off-kilter charm, this duet captures the unmistakable spirit of Prokofiev’s compositional style, reimagined with signature Duo.Hansen string flair. It’s a fantastic choice for student and professional recitals, or any program looking to add a bold 20th-century showpiece to the lineup.
The violin part includes a brief moment in 6th position, which is why we recommend it for upper-intermediate players — though adventurous lower-intermediate players with decent shifting skills may enjoy the challenge. While rhythmically intricate and harmonically bold, the piece remains tightly structured and accessible, offering an ideal introduction to 20th-century harmonies.
The perfect duet for performers who crave excitement, character, and just a touch of musical mischief. Great recital or encore piece.
