Although there are officially 120 micro duets, by mixing and matching, you could potentially create thousands. And by putting three or four parts together, you can also make trios and quartets. Having a live piano accompaniment is great for performances, but there are also free downloadable audio tracks for practice purposes.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles by Stephen Dunstone:  a short introduction\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r7u9Oy9bswE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-63262728\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1472015475\" class=\"col medium-1\/2 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 1  -  Toucan Cancan\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iV6_jSXC9_M?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 5  -  Filthy Lucre\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Phtd4bBExmM?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 6  -  Whirligig\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lYSNYvprh54?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-964137213\" class=\"col medium-1\/2 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 11  -  Tootles\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWjmIxtjOOw?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 13  -  Gaudy\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JckvC6TLSoc?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clap Battles Performance Piece 17  -  Fixing It\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vn4T2xixTLY?list=PLnc8mmSAzpFCSs1hOSkAduXIpsIfmxwN2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen.<\/h4>\n<p><em>Clap Battles<\/em>, by Stephen Dunstone, is a collection of 138 clapping duets with optional piano accompaniment.
