Richter wrote Two Duets for Two Violins in 2008 on commission from the Long Island Arts Council for the 2009 Long Island Composer Alliance's annual Music for Students concert. The "Pavanne" is stately and spare, with a reiterated opening theme. It develops contrapuntally, employing gentle dissonances which lend an edge to the slightly medieval sound of the duet. "Tag for Two" is a rambunctious dialogue in which the two players rarely wait for the other to finish before joining in. The clever interplay is occasionally interrupted by chromatic passages in rhythmic unison, usually in thirds, but once at the tritone. The title stems from the delightfully twisted use of the classic song Tea for Two in the second half of the duet.
The two duets are playable in 1st through 3rd position. The "Pavanne" is an excellent piece for tone color and control. "Tag for Two" features meter changes and shifting rhythmic patterns as well as the melodic and harmonic use of tritones. These are contemporary duets that are enjoyable to play and hear!
