DUPLICATE for Clarinet and
Violoncello
“Your music always feels nostalgia for the life”, said a friend of mine.
Upon his words. I started composition. All through four movements, the relation of two parts is neither confrontation nor dependence. Rather they are mutual duplicate through the filters.
Here and there, FREEZEs are inserted and that demands the total darkness. Sometimes appearing minor chord and major chord are precisely prescribed with pitch adjustment with just intonation. All through the music, the Pianissimo by clarinet’s double stop represents the foggy background. Completed on the 31st of May 2021.
