Some of the pieces involve several lever changes while playing a single line \u2013 a great way to become comfortable with that skill \u2013 while three arrangements do not need any lever changes. Though the parts do require simple independence of the hands, most of them can easily be divided into simpler parts (using only left or right hand), to enable less advanced players to play along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen<\/h4>\n<p>In her collection of seven transcriptions for two lever harps \u2013 &#8220;Classic Ensembles; Duets for Harpist Beginners&#8221; \u2013 Alyssa Reit provides an introduction to ensemble playing through the music of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Schubert, and Lehar.
