Re: Duets
Actually, if they are in treble clef you can play them straight from the book, reading them in bass clef: just either add 3 flats to the key signature OR add 4 sharps (depending on the original key). Anything in the staff or well spaced will work fine; close spacing below the staff will get kind of muddy.
For example: if the horn original is written in Ab major in treble clef, add 4 sharps (same as subtracting 4 flats) and read it in bass clef and it's in the key of C major.
And don't forget to stick your hand in the bell.

Re: Duets
Harvey used to use a fair amount of french horn duests and trios as study/performance material. The Telemann canonic sonatas for flute also work pretty well.
The big thing with this sort of borrowed material is to learn to use some finesse. Think of them as "chamber" music - not Thor's thunder coming from the bottom of a 110 piece orchestra.
