Three Impromptus (2024)

These three short pieces were written for David Zucchi and Iñigo Mikeleiz and the work is dedicated to them. They are improvisatory in nature and both instruments have equal roles.

The two outer impromptus are declamatory and frame a slower, more lyrical middle piece. It has been a pleasure to write for this unusual combination of instruments and to explore sonorities that I might otherwise never have come across.
