This duet was done with the violin from Solo Strings I.
Had I to do it again, I would have probably tried to use Solo Violin II for the second part. There are phrases here and there where the music really gives away that I'm using a single violin for both parts. There are some tricks I could've used to mask this a bit, but I usually reach a point where I'm ready to wrap it up and move on to the next piece. 😊
I really like this and the Baroque style is so authentic. I think you should definitely use the 2nd violin even if you want to move on! The reason is the character of the 2nd violin is exactly the same as first whether or not you use different articulations. Whereas, the 2nd violin sounds completely different and would add a lot to the performance. Though I understand it is more work and sympathize!
