Edited by Mike Andrejkovics - Martin Bresnick’s "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano" (1988) is a musical journey through rigorously created palindromes and symmetries, some simple like a child's game of Cat's Cradle, others more complexly "handed" symmetrical forms, but all of which may be elegantly described mathematically. What might the significance of such fearful abstractions mean to the human heart? Enjoy a performance by the Mammoth Trio (Elly Toyoda, violin; Ashley Bathgate, cello; Lisa Moore, piano) and then listen as Martin speaks about the music and mathematics.
