The two-movement Duo for viola and cello dates from the mid-eighties. I was attending various string workshops as a born-again violist and made these small attempts to expand a very limited repertoire.

Movement 1 is lyric and extremely heartfelt while maintaining an imitative contrapuntal mode. Movement 2 starts out canonically, becomes more independently playful and ends in a sort of dual (duel) toccata. It is, actually, quite a showcase work for the two instruments.
