    Summary: In this paper we consider the number of partitions of a positive integer \(n\) into parts of a specified number of distinct sizes. We give a method for constructing all partitions of \(n\) into parts of two sizes, as well as an explicit formula to count them with a new self-contained proof. As a side effect, by using the Möbius function we also give a formula for the number of partitions of \(n\) into coprime parts.
