GENRE: chamber music
Two people – that’s all it takes to carry on an interesting and inspiring conversation. Two instruments constitute also the smallest possible ensemble – the dialogue between them is inherently intimate and unique. This perception becomes even clearer, when a piece is being played by two string instruments, which – although differing in timbre – are inextricably intertwined.
