"Limb" is a 4-mallet solo for low-A marimba. Each of its four movements is three to four minutes in length. Movement one, "Prelude," is an expressive display of contrasting flourishes, making extensive use of the major-seventh interval. Specific mallet suggestions are notated, but the performer may want to try different sequences or rotations. The second movement, "Scherzo," is a rapid 9/8 setting consisting of tone rows with contrasting dynamics. The third movement, "Arioso," is a chorale dedicated to the memory of the late Jacob Druckman. It contains notated phrases that are to be hummed by the performer while playing the four- note harmonization. The final movement is a quote of the first, and is very rapid with additional leaps in register. This challenging solo is exciting and contains much expression. - George Frock, August 1998<ref>http://www.pas.org (accessed March 208, 2013)</ref>

"Limb" is a 4-mallet solo for low-A marimba. Each of its four movements is three to four minutes in length. Movement one, "Prelude," is an expressive display of contrasting flourishes, making extensive use of the major-seventh interval. Specific mallet suggestions are notated, but the performer may want to try different sequences or rotations. The second movement, "Scherzo," is a rapid 9/8 setting consisting of tone rows with contrasting dynamics. The third movement, "Arioso," is a chorale dedicated to the memory of the late Jacob Druckman. It contains notated phrases that are to be hummed by the performer while playing the four- note harmonization. The final movement is a quote of the first, and is very rapid with additional leaps in register. This challenging solo is exciting and contains much expression. - George Frock, August 1998[1]
