Review
"Wind Sketch II for two marimbas" is a challenging work for the keyboard duo. The work is based on Abe's solo marimba work "Wind Sketch"; therefore, similar motives and themes can be heard in the duo version. In this version, both marimbists utilize four-mallet technique. In the preface, Abe recommends the mallets to be used as well as range restrictions (one low-F or low-A marimba and one five-octave marimba). A performance challenge for both performers is the ability to sustain rolls in such a way that one is able to "hear" and "feel" the wind or breeze coming from the marimbas. The duration of the work is approximately six minutes, with both performers employing double vertical strokes, single independent strokes and single alternating strokes at various intervallic levels. This is a well-crafted work for the advanced keyboard duo. - Lisa Rogers, February 2002[1]
