A two-minute multiple-percussion solo with piano accompaniment employing three tom-toms and four timpani, "A L'Africaine" is appropriate for the beginning percussionist. Technically and rhythmically the work is not very difficult; however, it encourages the beginning percussionist to explore timbral possibilities and obtain good sounds from the instruments. Huteau's work employs the use of different playing areas (such as center for timpani) and has extreme dynamic changes throughout. The tuning scheme for the timpani utilizes minor thirds, and the piano part is very accessible. Additionally, the use of duple versus triple rhythms reflects the exploration of African idioms, as indicated by the title of the work. - Lisa Rogers, February 1999<ref>[http://www.pas.org PAS.ORG]</ref>

A two-minute multiple-percussion solo with piano accompaniment employing three tom-toms and four timpani, "A L'Africaine" is appropriate for the beginning percussionist. Technically and rhythmically the work is not very difficult; however, it encourages the beginning percussionist to explore timbral possibilities and obtain good sounds from the instruments. Huteau's work employs the use of different playing areas (such as center for timpani) and has extreme dynamic changes throughout. The tuning scheme for the timpani utilizes minor thirds, and the piano part is very accessible. Additionally, the use of duple versus triple rhythms reflects the exploration of African idioms, as indicated by the title of the work. - Lisa Rogers, February 1999[1]
