Jared Steven Destro Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This is a piece composed for a friend of mine who has been gaining a reputation as a clarinetist here in Buffalo. It follows the style of the ballet dance duet on which it is based, and it comprises of a four main sections -- the middle being combined and performed with the second clarinetist playing bass clarinet. Throughout, there is a play of unity v. disunity between the parts (which are representative of the two dancers); for instance, the ending of each movement makes some remark toward this: the entrance ends with an octave (unified in a sense, but not fully); the adagio, the voices almost converge; the variations, they end misaligned; and finally, in the coda, they end as one. There is also a play with interchangeable lines, most notably in the third section, attempting to justify the intent of role reversal in the ballet setting of the duet. Enjoy!
