Music for Two Violins

Music for Two Violins is a fun piece. It denotes the thoughts of two individuals expressed in many ways using a conversational format. As the titles of the four movements indicate, the conversation appears sometimes as a monologue, sometimes as a dialogue, sometimes a beginning or ending. Throughout the piece intervallic relationships control the various happenings. Sonorities based on seconds and thirds highlight the harmonic progressions, which influence the direction of the music. Stylistic quotations ornamented by sound effects are also important.
