Annotation : A five minute wedding present for clarinetist Laura and Brent Beech, this work features references to works within the clarinet repertoire. These references are interspersed between combative conversations between the two players. The work’s most challenging feature is the complex rhythmic figures in each part. Additionally, the parts, though not separate all the time, have some challenging entrances, requiring the players be familiar with each others parts as well as their own.
