My teacher is looking for a replacement first flute part to the Kuhlau Op. 57 duets. (A student took it and never brought it back - go figure!) And when I look up Opus 57 it is a solo, not a duet. His duet book has the title "Kuhlau Three Duos - Opus 57 BIS."
I see that the musical term "bis" means "twice." Do you suppose that this was originally a solo piece and reworked into a duet?

No, he has this book, Opus 10. Actually we just played it last week, so I know that for sure.
The book he needs actually says it's Opus 57 on the cover of the 2nd flute part.

As José Luis says, in Spanish we use bis to express that something follows something else, but it is not possible for some reason to use the next logical number or whatever in the sequence. I.e., if a house is built between the 10 and the 11, we would number it 10 bis. It could also be used to name something different but no so much as to be entitled a totally different number, something like D&D 3.5, or Firefox 2.3.5. So maybe the piece is a second version of the opus. It literally means, as Pinkalo said, "again" or "the second".

I saw the cover of his duets and it definitely is Opus 57 bis. I'm thinking it has to be that he reworked the Grand Solo to become duets.

But he was already in his mid twenties by then. I'm sure he'd consider his native language German and not Danish

From wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis
Bis may refer to:
* In Latin, it means "twice" or "a second time". This is the origin of most of the following uses. This, in turn, may be derived from Etruscan.
* Bis, a musical term and a little-used Interlingua word meaning "encore", "again", or "twice" (see Musical terminology#B).
* Bis-, a prefix meaning "two" in some contexts of chemical nomenclature
* bis, a suffix meaning "second version" (revision) of a standard (like the "V.32 bis" modem standard)

Twice or again ratifies well with the saxophone 'bis' key, which is the little aux Bb key in the left hand...

Yes, but then there's the side key that will produce Bb when fingering an A.
Will the real saxophone bis key please stand up !
