I am selling
this insightfully portrayed duet of a pianist and a violinist—note
how the artist has captured perfectly the facial expression (somewhat hard to
pin down in words) of a pianist attentively and dutifully accompanying the
intensely focused passion of a violinist—for the total cost of AU$288
(currently/approximately US$192.28/EUR177.94/GBP147.97 at the time of this
listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the
world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$288) as this is my currency.

moment of accord in music making, please contact me
