Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major is a staple of string quartet literature. Its highly rhythmic second movement translates well to mallet percussion, as is evidenced by Stephen Primatic excellent arrangement that expertly captures the nuance and color of the original string quartet. In this mallet septet, the woods effectively emulate the opening pizzicato statements, while the lyrical passages are well matched to the metallic, sustaining instruments. A worthy challenge with an impressive musical result! g.
