I believe it is as a composer that she will be most treasured - all the pieces that I have heard are gems - imaginative, well constructed, and a pleasure to play. Two Pieces is no exception. The first piece, 'Lullaby', is a gently-rocking dialogue between the two instruments. No great technical demands are made on the players except perhaps in the last four bars where the tuning of both players' double stops could be problematical. The second piece, 'Grotesque', is, as its title suggests, a complete contrast. This is wonderfully effective writing, full of tricks - pizzicato both right and left hand, double harmonics, sul ponticello etc. These two pieces would be equally happy in the hands of professionals, amateurs and musical children (i.e. around Grade 7 standard). They are a real opportunity to let the musical imagination blossom
