Divination By Mirrors for Saw and Strings (1998) by Michael A. Levine is a concerto scored for two string groups tuned a quarter-step apart and placed on opposite sides of the stage with a musical saw soloist playing in both pitch universes.[1] Featuring eight sections each named for a different means of divination and organized according to dynamic symmetry (specifically the golden ratio),[1] the piece was premiered, with soloist Dale Stuckenbruck,[2] at Abraham Goodman Hall NYC by New Century Chamber Orchestra and New York Virtuosi.
