Piece for Violin and Piano (2010)

Duration: flexible (between 10 and 40 minutes, depending on the speed taken)

Score

This simple piece contrasts some very basic musical materials as rendered on the piano in Equal Temperament and the violin in Just Intonation. The two players are both united in their aims and divided by their methods. The final note is both a reconciliation and a recognition that the division remains.
