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.
