a due für Violine und Violoncello

"A Due, for violin and cello, was written in the last year of Schedl’s life and not surprisingly reflects the increasing torment he must have endured. There are brief moments of serenity in this duo, but the overall impression, heightened by the ragged nature of the music’s pacing, especially noticeable in the choppy flow of jagged, vehement interjections separated by gaping silences that pervades it, is of deeply-rooted unease and disturbance."
