Looking Forward, for violin and cello (2005) by Laura M Kramer

Looking Forward for violin and cello 2005

Laura M. Kramer

Duration: ca. 6 min.

Instrumentation Violin Cello

Program Note Looking Forward was written during my senior year as an undergraduate student, after I had just decided that I would apply to schools for a masters degree in composition. At this point in time, composing was still feeling quite brand new, and what came with that was a newfound excitement into this branch of music that I wanted to know more about. Looking Forward is about the anticipation of pursuing this new direction.
