Line 43:
* Happens in the first ''[[Thursday Next]]'' book, ''The Eyre Affair''. The protagonist and another man play a literal piano duet, both playing the same piano at the same time but different parts of the piece. Not a straight-up example, because the two had been lovers in the past, but they weren't together at the time.
* ''[[Aubrey-Maturin]]'' has the title characters do this quite often. Aubrey plays violin; Maturin plays cello. And, uh, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]?:

* In Victorian era fantasy novel [[Darkness Visible]], [[Blue Blood|Lewis]] plays the piano, and [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Marsh]] the violin. Both are experts, and the first time Lewis offers to play a duet with Marsh it is a clear sign that their [[Fire-Forged Friends|relationship has changed]]. They go on to play together many times, using the music as a much-needed emotional release when neither of them can express themselves in words.
* In [[Hermann Hesse]]'s ''[[The Glass Bead Game]]'', when the protagonist Josef Knecht is still a young boy, the Music Master himself comes to examine if he's eligible to be educated in the elite schools. He does it by making the young Josef play music together with him. Thereafter they practically make a baroque-style version of what jazz musicians usually call "jam session", using a popular song as the basic theme. After this, the Music Master explicitly tells to Josef that making music together is the easiest way to create a friendship.
