Inspired by so-called minimalist ostinato music thriving on fast textures with slow, luscious harmony, Dorff found this an enticing approach to composing for marimbas. The work was simultaneously premiered in late 1985 by Nachiko Maekane on the East Coast, and by Brian Prechtl and Hitoshi Maeda on the West Coast. Each dance etude has a characteristic interval and ostinato rhythm, and may be performed by any number of players.
