violin duet

Two fiddles together

A violin duet is a musical composition written for two violins, or a performance of such a piece.

The term can refer to either the work itself or the pair of musicians playing it: The concert opened with a violin duet by Mozart.

Unlike violin with piano accompaniment, a true duet treats both instruments as equal partners.
