Trio for Three Pianos

In this composition, the mathematical constant, Pi, shows up in various ways. The most noticeable is the melody. The composer took an f minor scale, and plugged in the numbers of Pi. He used the numbers 1-7 in normal scale order, in this situation, he considered 8s and 1s the same and 9s and 2s to be the same as well due to how the scale works. 0s were rests. The second way Pi shows up is in the bass line. The interval jumps you hear are based on Pi, so theres a jump of a 3rd, a unison, a fourth, a unison, and so on. Not long into the piece, each piano begins playing their own melody each progressing through Pi, but they all do so at different speeds. At about the half-way point, the composer switched things around, and did a complete retrograde of everything he had done so far. Basically, he put a mirror up to the first half of the piece. The only difference from the beginning is that he began taking measures out. Taking measures out using Pi, he counted 3 measures, then removed the next one then counted the next four measures then removed one then counted 5 measures then removed 9 measures and so on until a full set of measures could not be removed.
