Three Contemporary Duets

Reviews

Each of Nigel Wood's duets stand alone as a complete piece or all three could be played as a suite as they contrast very well. They are great fun to play. Swanky is marked 'with attitude' and uses a one bar syncopated figure nearly all the way through. Elegy is in the style if a two-part invention and in the middle section the counterpoint is replaced by one clarinet accompanying with rhythm on a repeated note. Virtual Velocity sets out to create perpetuum mobile with two very busy parts and frequent semitone clashes.
