Pas De Deux

$20.00

Clarinet in Bb & Violoncello

Duration - 6 minutes

Pas De Deux is a melodic duet for clarinet and cello, complete in one movement. It was commissioned and premiered by Access Contemporary Music, Milwaukee. The piece was inspired by the architecture of the Colby- Abbott Building, an opulent structure built in 1885. During the premiere of this piece, people were able to explore the building while the musicians played in the lobby. The original title was Doors Open, but I changed it to Pas De Deux after hearing it performed. I think that it better captures the character of the piece.

Take a listen below.

The Colby Abbot Building Music by Cristina Spinei Peter Thomas - cello Benjamin Adler - clarinet The Colby-Abbot Building, located in the heart of East Town, was built in 1885 as the home office of the Wisconsin Central Railroad. Using white marble imported from Italy and featuring wide corridors and bay windows, this five-story structure was, and continues to be, a magnificent addition to Milwaukee’s skyline. The sixth story was added at the turn of the century to meet the need for commercial office space in Milwaukee’s growing economy.
