As a distinct genre and subject, twentieth-century violin and viola duos have not been examined in depth or detail. Existing catalogues which list works for this ensemble are imcomplete and historical information concerning the genre as a whole is sparse. Only a few brief articles concerning twentieth-century violin and viola duos and one analysis of a work have been publised. The genre is even considered by many to be of non-standard instrumentation. Yet, the combination of violin and viola is unquestionably viable and has been chosen as a means of expression by at least 360 composers during this century alone. Over 400 modern works for the combination have been written and scores and/or parts for approximately 200 of these duos are readily available. In addition, recordings of 26 compositions have been released commercially. This dissertation addresses the under-researched topic of twentieth-century violin and viola duos. First it is show that the topic has not been adequately studied and possible reasons for this are given. Second, the musical function of duos is discussed and a historical groundwork is established which traces duo literature from the seventeenth century. An overview of the modern violin and viola duos follows. Next, critical reviews of 202 works and a discograpy of recorded duos, both commercial and non-commercial, precede a list of titles, composers, publishers and referential listings of over 400 violin and viola duos. Finally, analyses of seven of the more prominent twentieth-century violin and viola duos are presented.

How does one go about writing the history of musical composition in the late twentieth century when, on the one hand, so much of it seems impossibly fractured and disassociated, and, on the other, there has been so little certainty about what the notion of 'music history' might entail under the critiques of post-modernism? One of the most productive ways forward is to pursue case studies involving single composers whose music reflects several aspects of recent activity. This enables the discussion of broad issues in a relatively focussed way whilst avoiding the pitfalls of traditional narrative histories and the centrifugal tendencies of the relativistic approach that some have called for. The music of the English-born (1943) and Australia-domiciled composer Roger Smalley is ideal material for such a study, because of his involvement with and response to an unusually large number of the myriad concerns and practices of post-1950s composition, including post-serial constructivism; parody; electro-acoustic composition and the electronic modification of conventionally-produced sound; Moment Form; aleatorism; minimalism; the use of non-Western resources (Aboriginal and South-East Asian sonorities); neo-Romanticism; and, arguably, the 'new classicism', as well as a brief flirtation with rock music in the late '60s. Employing an interview with the composer as a kind of cantus firmus, the book – the first extended single-author study of Smalley's music to be published – incorporates critical commentary on the composer's major works in a chronological narrative that engages with broad issues of central relevance to Smalley's generation, such as the process of learning the craft of composition in the early '60s; the motivation behind the adoption of certain technical and aesthetic positions; the effects on technical and aesthetic orientation of both the changing relationships between composer, performer, and audience and technological change; and the distinction between 'late-' and 'post-' modernism in music.

Tatjana Goldberg reveals the extent to which gender and socially constructed identity influenced female violinists’ ‘separate but unequal’ status in a great male-dominated virtuoso lineage by focussing on the few that stood out: the American Maud Powell (1867–1920), Australian-born Alma Moodie (1898–1943), and the British Marie Hall (1884–1956). Despite breaking down traditional gender-based patriarchal social and cultural norms, becoming celebrated soloists, and greatly contributing towards violin works and the early recording industry (Powell and Hall), they received little historical recognition. Goldberg provides a more complete picture of their artistic achievements and the impact they had on audiences.
