Mulatash Stomp"" was written for the Broadview Trio in 1991 when I was a student in Ann Arbor. While I wasworking on the piece, my teacher William Albright mentioned that he had once spent a wild evening at an all-night'Mulatas' (the authentic Hungarian spelling) and the idea stuck in my mind. Having never been to a true Mulatas, Icalled my second-hand piece ""Mulatash"" and wove a techno-rhythm into the mix for some added American late-night spice.
