There has been some doubt about the authenticity of the three Duos for clarinet and bassoon, conjecturally dated by some to Beethoven's final years in Bonn, 1790-1792. The pieces appeared in Paris in the second decade of the nineteenth century and, whatever their origin, make a pleasing and useful addition to repertoire, either in their original form or in various arrangements, particularly that for violin and cello. Duo No. 1 in C major opens with a sonata-form movement in which melodies are equitably shared between the two instruments. The second movement is in a melancholy C minor, followed, without a break, by a final Rondo, which includes a minor key episode before the final appearance of the cheerful principal theme.
