Although the basic material of this piece was derived from the music I composed for Once Removed, a documentary film on culture and history of modern China (Julie Mallozzi), the music of Twice Removed is abstract and is focused on the studies of continuity and character transformations. The original version of Twice Removed was written for alto saxophone. This version for solo clarinet is dedicated to Min-Ho Yeh who premiered the work at the University of Indiana in Bloomington.
