Oddly enough, it is nowhere stated on the score that Monograph IV is for solo marimba, although that soon becomes evident because of the range and technique used. An excellent, intermediate-plus educational piece, Monograph IV is reminiscent, technically, of some of Mitchell Peters' marimba pieces. It requires a variety of independence and roll techniques and is preponderantly based on quartal and quintal harmonies. It is effective in performance and functions well in the advancement of a student's technique. The music is easy to read, and is well laid-out, although the (11 page) piece has no good spots for page turns. Requires a 4-1/3 octave marimba. - Karen Ervin, Winter 1978
