I met Deok Yong Kim as a member of the Nico Quartet at the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts. She is an amazing cellist, and she has recorded four of my works since 2019.  Every time I hear her perform either in person or in the recordings I would exclaim, OMG!!!  Claire!!!

She calls herself Claire here in America.  This is the second work I have written for her.  The first was Trio 803 (2020) for clarinet, cello and piano.  I am calling this one, a duo for cello and piano, Éclair, as a pun on her American name; plus I know Claire loves desserts!!!   Additionally, every time when I exclaim OMG!!!  Claire!!!, I feel like I have been struck by lightning.  LOL!!!

Éclair (2021) is in six movements. 

1. Allegro, TRIO

2. Moderato, TRIO 

3. Adagio 

4. Allegro

5. Molto allegro, TRIO

6. Adagio

Enjoy!
