Welcome to the low-tech web site about the music of
Ron Wasserman and the activities of the Trilaterus Trio.
Hopefully you will find all the information you need about our composing, arranging, publishing, performing and recording activities.
From a review of a Maria Asteriadou
and Kurt Nikkanen violin and piano recital,
Fall 2008 in the Nairn,
. . . but the steamy highlight of this celebration of
dance was still to come in the shape of an astonishing “Tango Sonata” by the
couple’s friend Ron Wasserman. . . he has crafted
three Tango movements of enormous power, the middle of which sweeps through a
range of harmonic progressions worthy of the great Richard Strauss, while never
losing the urgency and passion of the Tango. This work was simply a tour de force of the
first order.
The Trilaterus Trio
From a
Review in Bass World, September, 2010 regarding Quatrefoil:
The
CD ends with the charming and witty Quatrefoil by Ron Wasserman. The work
consists of four movements ranging from the Tango Philharmonico
movement with its elegant and infectious Ravel-inspired dance to the clear
structures and counterpoint of the Old Number 25 movement and the Toccata-Balleta movement. The texture is full and robust, yet at
the same time, there is a neo-classical clarity. The melodic and harmonic
structures are very tonal in nature with just enough jazz influence to add
excitement and color, but not so much that it degenerates into the second
coming of a Claude Bolling suite. Although it would
be an anachronism, the label "21st century rococo with substance"
could be used to describe the effect it has on the listener. Maybe a better way
to describe Quatrefoil, is "guilty
pleasure." Even though there is enough compositional substance to engage
in analysis and epistemology, the work can be appreciated
merely
for its wit, charm, and infectious rhythms. The work can be enjoyed simply as a
"guilty pleasure." The musicians sound like they are enjoying the
music as well.
