TMers,

A good friend and colleague at Dartmouth, Christian Wolff, slipped his new DUO 6 for trumpet in C and violin (Editions Peters, 2007) into my box today and I've asked Brian McWhorter, for whom it was written, to tell us a bit about it.

A legandary composer, Christian Wolff (b. 1934) became associated with John Cage, Earle Brown and Morton Feldman in New York. He studied classics at Harvard (BA, PhD), remaining there as a teacher until 1970 when he was appointed professor of classics and music at Dartmouth College. His Pulse (1998) for trumpet and percussion has been played by Stephen Altoft (an occasional visitor at TM) and was recently recorded by Reinhold Friederich.

Best and watching here with great interest,
EC
