A duet is a musical composition for two performers, most often used for a vocal or piano duet. For other instruments, the word Duo is often used. The word duet is generally used in any of the following ways:
- a pair of musicians playing the same musical instrument,
- a pair of musicians playing different instruments,
- the performance of a song by two people,
- a piece of music that can be performed by two people,
- as a general term for any activity done by two people.
In Renaissance music, a duet specifically intended as a teaching tool, to be performed by teacher and student, was called a bicinium.
