In the meantime, on Sunday, David went to Bargemusic for the final performance of his nephew Felix. This was a tour-de-force performance. Felix was without a doubt the highlight of the afternoon performance at Bargemusic. Felix not only performed the works from David, but also of composer Elizabeth Adams. He thus had three command performances to give to the lucky few that were in attendance. Again the highlight of the afternoon and the four days of performance at Bargemusic, was performing alongside violinist Mark Peskanov and the World Premier of "Dynamic Due Farewell for violin and bass trombone." As for the reviews, they continue to come in, "Perhaps the most surprising work is David Del Tredici’s Dynamic Duo for violin and bass trombone, a combination never imagined in the world of music previous to this. Mark Peskanov, that fine violinist who leads BargeMusic as President/Artistic and Executive Director, and who has the imagination to program these oddities, is the fiddler to Felix Del Tredici. One would have imagined that the contrast would be the raison d’être, (à la Berlioz’ piccolo and trombone in the Requiem), but no, the two artists play mirror images, imitate each other, form a kind of an enchanting rebus puzzle."
