  • Sheet Music + Digital Album

    Eleven duets for clarinet and piano by Erin Rodgers and Anthony Barilla. Comes with the original album + bonus track by LIMB.

    These pieces were written collaboratively, exquisite corpse-style, through the mail. One of us would write a piece short enough to fit on a sheet of airmail stationary, and then send the other person the correct number of staffs and measures, along with key signatures, tempos and time signatures, but without the notes we had originally written. The recipient would then write their own piece of music within those limits, and send the same airmail letter back with their part added to it. The original composer would then add their original composition to the sheet music, completing the duet, and mail it back one last time, so that both of us could see the final product. This book comes with photos of the original letters.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Correspondence Compositions via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
