Point of Balance

Here is a new composition titled 'Point of Balance.' As I was writing this it occurred to me that most of the elements in the piece can be thought of as having two parts. For example, the phrases with subdivisions of 2 vs subdivisions of 3 or similar melodies played at half step intervals. Even the written material vs the improvised material can be viewed this way. This dichotomy is the basis for the title.
