Duo
Introduction
"Acts of terror, how can we understand? In a search for an answer, we pray to the gods or turn ourselves towards the mysteries of nature. We feel the wind, touch the water, watch the starts and listen to the earth". (by Wil Offermans)
Stage settings
At first DUO has been composed for contra bass flute. Though, it is very well possible to perform this piece on C-flute, alto flute or bass flute.
To perform this piece, one has to prepare a stone, which can be seleced by the player. This stone should be placed on the stage, like pretending a duo.
Classics United
