It was in his music for pianoforte that Debussy confided his most personal inspirations. Nonetheless, in the hands of a master like Carlo Martelli they transcribe well to the quartet medium. This tarantella like piece is no exception.

Violin Duet
This piece was written for a memorial service and hence has a rather wistful quality to it. It has been performed many times at Junior Department Conservatoires, other memorial services and in concerts and recitals throughout the UK. It is tonal and melodious and so has a wide appeal.

This viola solo in five movements was commissioned by Christel Baillie for a recital in Hamburg in 2004.
