Writ
ten in memory of Peter
Crossley-Holland, a
former colleague at the
BBC where Sir John
Manduell was founding the
BBC Music Programme, this
superb duet was given a
first performance by
Richard Howarth (Violin)
and Tom Dunn (Viola) at
the Bridgewater Hall in
August 2002.
While
a short piece, there is
plenty of technical
challenge in this work,
with the Recitative
spanning the full range
octaves leading on to an
Aria in 11/8, featuring
muted, pizzicato, double
stopping and harmonic
passages.
