The solo percussion music of Franco Donatoni.

Franco Donatoni composed two works
for solo percussion: "Omar" for vibraphone
and "Mari" for marimba. In both
works--each containing two separate
parts numbered with Roman numerals I and
II--the composer writes in a strongly processbased
style. Furthermore, the resultant compositions
are seemingly coherent and organic. By
analyzing both works thoroughly in the following
article, the authors point out how the composer
attains his resultant works. Some tools,
which emerged from the analysis, support the
practical elaboration and the interpretation of
the score. The authors are strongly persuaded
that this will improve practice efficiency as well
as accessibility to the repertoire in a significant
way. Additionally, a brief summation of
the empirical research conducted primarily by
Tom De Cock supporting a learning platform
to Donatoni's solo percussion compositions is
provided.
