The Monkey Who Had No Arms Fable in Three Movements for Viola and Cello

1994 | Commissioned by Andrew Mark and Mark Smith | 10 minutes 30 seconds

Contact for score and parts.

Howard Frazin’s The Monkey Who Had No Arms was the next-most pleasant discovery.  Intimate discourse woven of complementing instrumental melody characterizes this duet for viola and cello.
