varied reception
Date Completed:May 2, 2016
Duration:about 4 minutes
Instrumentation:violin and viola
Comments:for Thomas Scheurich
Program Notes:This duo for violin and viola was written May 1st and 2nd, 2016 for violist Thomas Scheurich and myself to play at an afternoon luncheon/reception - they could only afford a string duo - so I came up with four minutes of some variety, as well as something to challenge our powers of concentration in a fairly noisy room. This double-rogered recording is one of my first attempts at overdubbing - rough but giving a true sense of "modified joy." rz
