    Madalyn and I have played most of the pieces written for our little ensemble and are always looking for ways to spice up our programming. When I rediscovered Danse Macabre as arrangement material, I knew this was just what we were looking for! It’s one of those pieces that is undeniably fabulous. It’s fun to play and fun to listen to, and it was so fun to adapt for two voices. I had to get creative with finding ways to play two lines at once, add some virtuosic yet idiomatic ornamentation, as well as create an exciting ending (the original ends quietly). Just over seven minutes long, it is a wonderful addition to the repertoire in its programmability and musical substance, and is also a great alternative to the traditional Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia.

    Saint-Saens wrote this monstrosity of a piece for orchestra, so not only are you playing an arrangement, you are also playing a reduction! It works really as a string duet! 😍

  • @jthai6149

    The collaborative talent is breathtaking. The arrangement retains the spirit of the orchestra but for only two instruments. Just an unbelievable achievement.

    This is amazing! Brilliant arrangement and played so well! I’ve heard some solo arrangements where there’s too many notes for one instrument to come out with good tone, but as a duo, every note sounds beautiful. Bravo.
