This article is about my use of revision and reworking to compose a trio of closely related pieces grouped under the collective title, Dance Maze: Variations for Piano, Duos for Trumpet and Piano, and Solos for Trumpet. Such grouping finds echoes in Pierre Boulez’s and Wolfgang Rihm’s families of genetically related works, Richard Barrett’s work cycles and the interlocking polyworks of Klaus Huber. My approach differs from most of the above in harnessing techniques closely associated with another composer - those outlined by Tom Johnson in his book Self-Similar Melodies.
