20th Century. For tenor and bass trombone. Written in 1976, this duet has become a standard in the recital repertoire. Originally composed for Charles Small and David Taylor, the piece offers the opportunity to explore an intimate dialogue between the players. -vk

This re-engraved 2016 edition features numerous adjustments made by the composer to bring the published scores into compliance with his original ideas. In addition to corrected and neatened notation, the parts are now a set of two-sheet scores for ease of performance (no more page turns). The work as now published is the most authentic version available. Includes score and parts. -cdp

"Conversation is a national pastime. Whether it is spouses arguing in the kitchen, kids on the playground yelling at each other, debaters questioning their opponent's qualifi cations, and many other conversational situations. Recently I had the opportunity to see a great movie, Indignation. In a moving scene, a young freshman has a contentious meeting with the dean of the college. I couldn't help comparing the tension of the two characters, the same kind of tension and emotional discourse that I tried to depict in my composition. The duet between a tenor and bass trombone goes through many disputes, eventually resolving in a harmonious resolution." -Charles Small
