	=== Review ===		=== Review ===
			This Toccatina, written for six percussionists, had as its inspiration another sextet, written some forty years before, the wellknown Toccata for Percussion Instruments by Carlos Chavez. Fink's Toccatina, written in homage to Chavez and his sextet parallels the instrumentation of the latter (player 1, bongos and glockenspiel; player 2 snare drum and xylophone; player 3, snare drum and suspended cymbal; player 4 tenor drum, maracas, and claves; player 5 three timpani and small gong; and player 6, bass drum and tam-tam). Chimes, used by Chavez, are not found in this score. Following the three-movement format of its predecessor, the Toccatina is divided into three movements--an "Introduction," (allegro vivace, quarter note = 160) slightly over three minutes in length; a "Recitatif" (sostenuto, quarter note = 72) approximately two minutes and twenty seconds long; and a two and one-half minute third movement, "Rondo-Allegro barbaro" (allegro assai, quarter note 160). The texture of the first movement of the Toccatina is much less contrapuntal than the corresponding movement of its predecessor, although Fink does use the technique of apportioning rhythmic Patterns contrapuntally among two or more players, which is one of the challenging aspects of the first movement of the Chavez work. In fact, one application of this technique is a rhythmic figure that is given in sequence to all members of the ensemble in "pyramid" fashion. One oftenused Chavez device, adding players, one by one to intensify a repeated pattern, is also found. The xylophone and glockenspiel play primary roles in the first movement. Unison writing for these instruments is found throughout the movement, with passages of fastmoving sixteenth notes that are truly virtuosic. The second movement provides a contrast, using two unmetered sections, featuring, respectively a timpani cadenza and a xylophone cadenza, sandwiched between three short, homophonic, metered sections. Several quotations from the Chavez original, including the glockenspiel glissando and repeated eighth note perfect fourths and fifths for that instrument and ostinato sixteenth-note rhythms add another touch of deja vu. The "Rondo-Allegro barbaro" begins quite differently than the last movement of its predecessor, using a driving, highly syncopated rhythmic theme. Ideas from the two previous movements, such as accented sixteenths from the first, and bell glissandi from the second, for example, are presented along with the highly energized rhythmic theme. A sudden entry into a faster "allegro barbaro" with bongos playing sixteenth notes is reminiscent of the vivo section in the last movement of the Chavez. A slight respite is achieved with rolls on bongos and snare drums, played with terraced dynamics, like the rolls in the first movement of the Chavez. The syncopated rhythmic theme brings the work to an exciting close. Toccatina is ideal for a college ensemble that wishes to spotlight two mallet players though there are numerous opportunities for all participants to shine. For those in the audience that know the Chavez work the allusions and quotations throughout Fink's piece will be particularly rewarding. - John R.
