Three Pieces for Treble Wind and Guitar (1973-1974) began as a single work - "Circular Rondo" written for guitarist Jeffrey Van, guitar instructor at the University of Minnesota. The following year, Larsen composed "Canti Breve" as a wedding gift for her friend, Lynne Aspnes, then a harp student at the University. Larsen rounded out the set of three pieces with the lively "Presto Digital," a piece with motivic links to "Canti Breve."
