Ya, all 20th century (ish) music is hard to play so I was thankful to get a skilled violinist- but about the two keys thing, I like to think of it more as one sonority with two triads emphasized. For instance sometimes, I will have c minor being played in the violin with g major in the piano, it makes for a very interesting sound and color. This is what I pretty much did through the whole piece, messing with different "sonorities" and harmonies to give it that distinct sound of sorrow. I do understand your comment about the continuous flow, but before this piece I had a problem with writing too much so my teacher suggested adding rests to give the listeners time to absorb what they were hearing and what not. Just a preference I guess, thanks for your comments though.
