Claire Kim (a.k.a. Deok Yong Kim) has been my go-to cellist since I first heard her with the NICO Quartet in 2019 @ NEC in Jordan Hall. She recently found a boyfriend who is also a cellist, Bennet Huang. They have been dinner guests at our home many times. So, when I ran out of projects to do in the early summer of 2022, I decided to write a duo of two cellos for them. In my search for inspiration, I discovered that Ermmano Wolf-Ferrari (1876 - 1948) wrote a number of nice duets for violin and cello. The one that really intrigued me was his Introduzione e balletto. And since my wife, Kristin Beckwith, is a ballet teacher who has only recently retired from teaching at the Boston Ballet School, I thought this would be a nice gesture to dedicate this work to her. The Wolf-Ferrari is only a two-movement work, hence the title's balletto reference. Mine will be a multi-movement work with many balletti in it. I. Introduzione II. Valser III. Bolero IV. Sarabanda V. Tarantella VI. Barcarola VII. Bandinerie VIII. Siciliana Enjoy!
