Review

Sonata Ico is a marimba quartet written in a pseudo-Classical style. An optional part is included that may be added for a quintet performance, but the piece would probably sound better as a quartet. The work is marked "lively (half note = ca. 96-100)" and is very tonal; however, the key relationships in this sonata are a little unusual. It begins in D major, moves to the dominant, and then moves to B minor. The exposition then ends in D major again. The development moves through several keys and textures, including an "Andante cantabile" section that cadences back in B minor. The recapitulation begins in D major but abruptly shifts to E major. The piece ends on a C-sharp major triad. Sonata Ico would be a good piece for intermediate to advanced keyboard percussionists. The marimba four part can be played on a low-A instrument. - Tom Morgan, June 1996[1]
