Work introduction
"Pas de Deux" got its title from the ballet dance of the same name, where you have two dancers, typically a male and female. The female dancer is portrayed by the flute and the male dancer is portrayed by the bass clarinet.
The audio and video examples are from the album "Lamedh" on the Phasma Music Label (distributed by Naxos.) The performers are Iwona Glinka, flute and Yannis Samprovalakis, bass clarinet.
