One piece written by Matt Brubeck, who teaches at <\/span>York University and Humber College (last name should ring some bells), distributed phrases and melody lines between the players, Amahl Arulanandam and Bryan Holt. That might seem easy to do with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, but on a piece based on a tiny riff from Beethoven, at a brisk tempo, written by a Brubeck \u2014 well, you had to see and hear it<\/strong>.\u201d
