Diabolic Dialogue
for clarinet (or oboe) and cello
Description
This duo is a sort of a dialogue between the two instruments. The classical form of rhetoric has been applied to the musical structure that divides into six parts: Exordium (introduction), Narratio (bringing out the case), Propositio I & II (stressing the opinion), Confutatio (disproving the counter arguments), Confirmatio (strengthening of thesis) and Peroratio (conclusion). This piece was one of my early assignments when I was a student at the Sibelius Academy. The sound colour was not in focus in this task, only the relations of different pitches. Therefore the wind part can be played with either clarinet or oboe.
