Duo David Maslanka

The Duo is in six episodes, played continuously. The episodes are entitled:

1. A mystery
   
2. An interlude
   
3. A sore point, or a touchy question, or the unanswered question put yet another way
   
4. A mystery
   
5. A fanfare
   
6. A mystery
   

The opening and closing mysteries are coloristic/impressionistic in character. The interlude for piano solo reflects my interest in the melody-spinning capacity of J.S.Bach in a piece such as the middle movement of the Italian Concerto, although this interlude is quite modern. The core of the piece is a sore point This movement is an extended technical monsterpiece for both players. The following quiet mystery is deeply reflective , and the brief fanfare introduces the final episode.
