Appalachian Duets

Appalachian Duets, Opus 38, No. 8 (2001),[1] composed by Maria Newman for two violins alone, was co-commissioned by the Travers Violin Duo and the Angeli Duo. It has been performed on a large scale both nationally and internationally.[2] Intended for performance on the concert stage, the musical ideas behind the duets were taken from Maria Newman's original orchestra score for the 1919 Mary Pickford film, Heart o' the Hills.[3]

gollark: It's one of those unfalsifiable things, but you can't say that it *definitely isn't* true because of that.
gollark: Perhaps in the real reality™ atoms don't exist and everything is made of very small bees.
gollark: You can be *practically* sure, but not *absolutely* sure inasmuch as, again, you could be in a simulation or being fed fake sensations somehow.
