This would be fun to play as a first ensemble with an equal partner.
Mechanical Man has to be wound up before he'll move. Halfway through he slows down, stops and has to be wound up again. Secondo plays in a stationary position and though Primo moves for the middle section it isn't difficult. Highly patterned.
No audio at the moment
From Lady Bug and Friends Both players want to play the primo and partway through the piece secondo decides to go for it, moves up the bench and shoves primo off! Primo runs to the other end and finishes playing the lower part. It's good practice for each partner to learn both parts and ensures that both master the rather tricky rumba rhythm. It's also lots of fun and can be "hammed up" to great effect.

BFP - PD003 Elementary Level
A charming easy duet for two equal players. It features a lilting waltz-like rhythm in ABA form with secondo having the melodic interest in section B. 3 pages with a DC repeat.
Playing together is lots of Fun.
