Entremets: The Story of a Musical Snack
Last December, members of the University of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra premiered my short work Entremets for 14 winds and 2 percussionists. In the midst of Mendelssohn and Brahms, it was a little out of place—like some odd second cousin to the two great composers’ works.
The story of how this little piece came to be is somewhat amusing, and at the request of Philip Thompson, I’m writing it here.
