MAGIC
MAZE is the perfect title
for this 8-minute
adventure for viola and
piano. Cycling through a
form loosely inspired by
numerical “magic
squares,†the work
is a chain of variations
on a 12-note series built
of perfect fourths and
minor thirds. Miniature
versions of various
characters —
march, canon, barcarolle,
toccata, bolero, and
sarabande — weave
their way through the
continuous labyrinth, all
based on symmetrical
patterns of pitch and
rhythm that continually
develop and return.
