Trust Him Only
Scored for two unaccompanied strings it begins with a motif in imitation… The first thematic statement is made with a delicately altered theme in the upper line while the lower line moves in a gentle counterpoint.. The second section is in a new key at a higher level with the melody alters even more while the second voice is more expressive and stretched out. The next section changes key once again and mirrors the movement of the first section. Again, a modulation takes place and the parts are more bold and duet like in their presentation. A final modulation takes the piece upward and the style is more bold where it comes to a brief Coda- where it relaxes into a quite confidence.
