Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Together (2001), a re-writing of a 1979 duo composed for Eugene Gratovich, is a continuous piece in which the piano provides mainly harmonic support for the violin's melodic activity.  Like 'Til Death it begins and ends quietly, and during its course explores textures and moods ranging from calm and meditative to active and assertive...

As the description suggests, Together, unlike the through-composer 'til Death, repeats or varies several times specific material heard early in the piece.  Though not tonal, Together emphasizes selected pitches, most notably 'A,' as structural elements.

Together is dedicated to my wife, Rita.
