Piano Phase

Piano Phase is a piece of music written in 1967 by the minimalist composer Steve Reich for two pianos. It is his first attempt at applying his "phasing" technique which he had previously used in the tape pieces It's Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966) to live performance.

See wikipedia's entry for more details...

More details on the theoretical aspects of the phase construction on Piano Phase, read chapter 14, "Notes from the Metalevel".
