A DUE for Violin and Violoncello (2011)
A due for violin and cello, a single-movement piece of approximately 12 minutes, is comprised of what may be seen as a series of interconnected ‘terms of engagement’ between its two protagonists. Starting from a state of separation and great distance, expressed by the two instruments playing entirely different music and placed in registral positions that are wide apart, the two gradually come together, in a manner that is more akin to a series of progressive waves than a straight narrative.
