The three movement "Duo for Violin and Piano"
was commissioned by the Fortnightly Musical Club
of Cleveland, Ohio and written in May of 2008
for
The Cleveland Duo
performers - Stephen Warner, violin and Carolyn
Gadiel Warner, piano. The first
movement is a ternary structure with light,
lilting outer sections and a darker, more
intense middle section. The longer second
movement is a tone poem on the separation of the
soul from the body; it too is in a ternary form,
but the middle section is a moderately slow
fugue which draws its inspiration from Beethoven
(Op 110 Piano Sonata and Symphony #3) on the one
hand and Jimi Hendrix (Woodstock “Message to
Love”) on the other. The 12 subject
entries of the fugue ascend systematically
through all 12 pitch classes, beginning with Bb
and ending with A. The third
and final movement presents two equally earthy
but very different themes in succession; the two
themes are then combined. Both themes are
in an asymmetrical 15/8 which, with a few
exceptions, subdivides into 4/4+7/8. When
brought up to tempo the listener will typically
feel each 15/8 bar as a four beat pattern with
beat three slightly shorter than the other beats
(i.e. 4+4+3+4 eighth-notes).
The mp3's above are from the premiere
performance given by the Cleveland Duo ( Stephen
Warner, violin and Carolyn Gadiel Warner, piano)
at Christ Episcopal Church in Warrensville Hts,
Ohio on February 22, 2009. Duration of all
three mvts 17 mins.
