How dare you insult baroque music! How about Bach's Double Violin Concerto, it is baroque but by no means simple or crap! If you really want a challenge Bartok wrote 44 violin duos, you can pick and choose! Paganini wrote an awesomely difficult and fiendish Duo for one violin, if that counts!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBuBfLsf4xI

ooo cool! Thanks! The Bach double is so over played and really isn't that much of a challenge! but Bartok and Paganini should be good! Thanks for the suggestions! Do you know of any specific ones out of Bartoks 44?? x
