I decided to do some videos, starting with the first duet (Little Star) in Applebaum’s Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments – Violin Book1.  I think the book is a good introduction to playing duets and playing a 2nd violin part.  Full video (embedded here) goes through each section, each part for play-along. 

I’ve got shorter videos on my site (globe above, or links below) under the Applebaum/Help/Misc link where I separated out the individual parts (Complete Tune for Violin1 only, Violin2 only, and Violin1 & 2 together).

Sorry, updated them.  Copied & pasted wrong format of the links (found some browsers not liking it the other way).

I mention in the video that there is a similar exercise (to the Violin 1 bowing pattern) in the Wohlfahrt Op 45 Etudes, #4, linked here (and also attached a copy of the page from the IMSLP linked document).
