Program Note

Elements: III is the result of playing Elements: I (solo piano) and Elements: II (violin and cello) simultaneously. The progression of movements of the two pieces is quite independent, creating in total a constantly dovetailing bitonality, and achieving harmonic singularity only at the very end of the work.
