Suspension Of Disbelief by Keith Kramer published on 2014-12-07T12:40:20Z Composed by Keith Kramer. Performed live at An die Musik in Baltimore, Maryland on April 21, 2012 by Trio Giocoso: Nicholas Currie, violin; Adam Gonzalez, violoncello; Diana Greene, piano. Suspension of Disbelief is a work for piano trio that incorporates scalar and harmonic materials derived from Hindustani and Japanese traditions. While there is no attempt to mimic the traditional uses of these materials, their incorporation is a nod to the work of John Patrick Welsh, highly noted composer, theorist, koto and shamisen player, pianist and painter, to whom this work is dedicated. As a member of the Washington Toho Koto Society for two decades, he composed and performed the koto and shamisen for the ensemble. My experiences in John Welsh’s classes at UMBC had a huge impact on me as an educator and a composer, and I am forever grateful for having the privilege to study with him.
