Arrangements for viola and cello together.
Acknowledgements
I offer my gratitude to the following wonderful friends and colleagues:
Jessica Baum, violist: with whom I have had the great fortune to be able to read, work through, and perform my arrangements. She is a the violist with Pernambuco Chamber Ensemble, as well as one of my dearest friend. She has assisted me throughout my writing process, offering her feedback, input, and informed musical ideas. I am so grateful for her generous and ongoing gifts of talent and time, and am indebted to her for her patience, faith, encouragement, and support; her willingness to work with me tirelessly while we play through my scores during the many stages of revision; her dedication to high musical and technical standards in our performances of these arrangements; and, above all, for our deep and enduring friendship.
Daniel Goodman, pianist, for his inspiration, modeling, and enthusiasm, and for being a wonderful musician and good friend with whom to play chamber music.
Michael Tsuk, violist, who, out of the goodness of his heart and belief in the project, transcribed my first arrangements into an online music-writing program.
Nelson Caldwell, my husband, for transcribing the bulk of the rest of the scores into a MuseScore program, then teaching me how to do it myself; for his ongoing technical support; for believing in me; and most of all for being my partner and friend.
Benjamin Borgers, family friend and software expert, for volunteering to build this website and assist me along the way with the many steps involved in bringing it to life.
I also thank all the composers and arrangers who responded, from their wealth of experience and wisdom, to my requests for publishing advice:

...and my dear friends and family who have been listening to me talk about this project since day one, and given their moral support in working on it. In addition to those already listed above, these include:
