Times 3 for piano trio 鋼琴三重奏 朔特版

標題指的是三種樂器、三個樂章和三種處理音樂時間的方式。作品的基調嚴肅而不失俏皮，正如標題所暗示的那樣。第一樂章 "比例 "以一系列看似無關的想法開場，速度比例為 3:2 和 4:3。隨著樂章的進行，這些想法以越來越寬的螺旋形發展、轉換和疊加。速度較慢的第二樂章 "迴圈 "是一個幻想曲，它建立在一個無處不在的、以對稱的擴張和收縮迴圈為背景的二聲部主旋律的嚴格框架之上。快速的終曲 "相位 "是一首永動機塔蘭泰拉舞曲，其中的樂器在相互追逐的過程中時而相位互換，時而相位分離。流動的八分音符融合並最終統一了前幾個樂章的思想"

原文簡介:
The title refers to three instruments, three movements, and three ways of treating musical time. The tone of the work is serious yet as playful as the title suggests. The first movement, Ratios, opens with a series of seemingly unrelated ideas in tempo ratios of 3:2 and 4:3. As the movement proceeds, the ideas develop, transform, and superimpose in increasingly wide spirals. The slower second movement, Cycles, is a fantasy built on the strict scaffolding of an omnipresent, diatonic cantus firmus set in symmetrically expanding and contracting cycles. The quick finale, Phases, is a moto perpetuo tarantella in which the instruments move in and out of phase as they chase one another. The flowing eighth notes merge and finally unify ideas from the previous movements.
