Duo No. 2 in E minor has a romantic ambivalence and bitter-sweetness. The first movement in 6/8 time is full of inspiring ideas in a very well-wrought balance between hope and despondency. The slow movement in B major, too, which begins as a beautiful Alpine idyll, reveals hidden worries. The final movement is a surprisingly grave sonata-rondo with a syncopated first subject. The movement ends not in E major, as Kuhlau elegantly suggests, but in E minor, where all the unease had its beginning.
