Annotation: This work features five separate duets, each dedicated to a different individual: 1. Sonatina for Donal Michalsky, 2. Invention on Two Intervals for Christie Lundquist, 3. Cadenza Pastorale for Nicolas Roussakis, 4. Invention on a Rhythm for Robert Wojciak, 5. Canonic Rondo Mitchell Lurie. Each duets has a distinct style and character, perhaps aimed at capturing the spirit of the dedicated individual. These duos are challenging, featuring an expansive range, extended techniques (including quarter tones), and highly individualistic writing. They are intended for professional level players.
