Angles for Piano Trio

Angles for Piano Trio plays with a variety of textures and timbres that can be produced on the piano. Each of the four movements takes a different textural or procedural "angle." The first movement, "With Pluck," uses a lot of pizzicato in the strings, with virtually no use of the pedal in the piano. The second movement, "Take a Bow," uses extensive double stops in the strings. The third movement, "About a Minute Waltz," is percussive and rhythmic, and the last movement, "A Sad Song," contrasts repetitions of a straightforward lyrical stanza with rhapsodic interludes.
