An Arch of Miniatures 鋼琴三重奏

第一樂章和第五樂章使用相同的旋律素材，但速度和節奏卻截然不同。第二樂章和第四樂章也使用了自己的同類素材，首先以橫向二部曲式出現，如同木管樂器的對話，然後以縱向和聲疊加，如同鋼琴獨奏。第三樂章是拱門的基石，其挑戰在於創作一首沒有明示和聲，只有暗示和聲的單線作品。因此，通過在單個長線條中變換色彩和音區，作品才得以豐富多彩。動機材料取自其他樂章"

原文簡介:
The first and fifth movements use the same melodic material using very different speeds and rhythms. The second and fourth movements also use their own set of like material, first appearing as a horizontal two part invention like a conversation for the woodwinds, and then stacked in vertical harmonies as a piano solo. In the third movement, the keystone of the arch, the challenge was to compose a single-line work with no harmony stated, only perhaps implied. Thus the variety is gained by changing the colorations and registers within a single long line. The motivic material is drawn from within the other movements.
