I. Allegretto con brio
II. Adagio lamentoso
III. Allegro con fuoco
All three movements of Duet in F Minor are set in minor. The opening movement, Allegretto con brio, has a playful, energetic quality. The 'musical character' that begins in m9 curiously wanders around the 'musical universe' that is the first movement. This contrasts with the mournful second movement, Adagio lamentoso. The third movement, Allegro con fuoco, is a virtuosic display of passions that build to a fiery finale.
I've adapted this duet for a variety of instruments. The score reads as a small flex-band ensemble, but this piece is intended to be performed by just two musicians.
Instruments included:
Part 1
Flute
Alto Flute
Oboe
Clarinet in Eb
Clarinet in Bb
Alto Saxophone
Tenor Saxophone
Violin
Viola
Part 2
Bass Clarinet
Contra Alto Clarinet
Baritone Saxophone
Bassoon
Trombone
Bass Trombone
Euphonium (T.C. version is included)
Tuba
Cello
Contrabass
