A collection of 33 tunes with unexpected twists and turns that are great for challenging the status quo.

Duo arrangements of the tunes in this collection, in the same keys, are available for violins, violas, cellos, basses, mandolins, soprano recorders, and alto recorders.
The tunes in this collection are laid out so that there are no page turns to interrupt the flow of your playing.

“These tunes are, in the arranger’s words, ‘Great for challenging the status quo’. ln these songs and dances, expect the unexpected; a ‘crooked tune’ might have irregular beats, or three sections, unexpected chord changes, so it would be more difficult to follow in a jam session or in a dance, for example. These short tuneful pieces are a fun way to supplement sight reading in lessons; the music is tuneful, playable and almost too simple, until the odd quirkiness to keep readers on their toes. Some of the songs come with amusing words as well. Available to purchase in either digital download or hard copy, this album is a welcome addition to Greenblatt’s valuable resource of flexible compatible duet arrangements for any two string instruments.”
