Ceci est Presqu’un Tango by Yves Carlin & Claudy Mahieu

This is the first of we hope many pieces from Yves and Claudy. “Almost a Tango” is written for Marimba with piano accompaniment. The two mallet solo utilizes the entire range of the marimba and is scored for 5 Octave with an alternate part for 4 1/3 Octave. The piano accomaniment is charming and the marimba solo is one of the best two mallet solos we have scene in some time.
