Gottry-Zig Zag (SP)-V/2M

The title of this work is derived from two of its more obvious formal or structural elements. First, the opening section, which is repeated three times within the work features rapid scale passages being passed between the players and moving up and down the keyboards. Second, the piece features two contrasting passages that are presented in between repetitions of that primary section. This is a challenging work that requires great individual confidence on each instrument as well as excellent ensemble awareness from each player.
