When
a violinist lamented on
the dearth of violin
duets, Berio instantly
began the process of
creating a series of
short duos, each named in
honor of a friend or
fellow musician/composer.
Over the years, this set
of 34 Duetti took shape,
spanning a range of skill
levels. Many feature a
simpler role for one
player, usually with an
emphasis on a particular
skill or technique. In
her excellent
transcription for two
violas, Mayer-Lindenberg
points out that No. 20
uses playing techniques
necessary for those
preparing Berio's
Sequenza VI for Viola
Solo. Violists have long
created their own
arrangements of the
original violin duos.
Mayer-Lindenberg has now
transcribed the complete
set, retaining original
keys where possible or
transcribing down to
accommodate the viola's
range.
