Music for Piano Trio/ The March of Folly was inspired by Barbara Tuchman's book of the same name. In her book, Ms. Tuchman defines folly as, "the pursuit by governments of pursuing policies contrary to their own interests". In the preface she asks, "why do holders of high office so often act contrary to the way reason points seem so often not to function?" She illuminates four decisive points in history that illustrate the very heights of folly in government, and illustrates folly as 'a child of power'.
