Summary:Composed on the background of heterophony “Solo for marimbaphone and vibraphone” remains a unique opus in the genre’s literature. Certainly, an opus which highlights the composer’s remarkable style and talent for creating new compositional techniques having links with modern mathematics, especially with graph theory and group theory. That is why this work illustrates the composer’s modern vision on music in respect with the rising of heterophony, at the standard of syntax and stylization proper to XX century contemporary music. This article seeks to demonstrate that the aesthetic value of “Solo” is given by an internal unity making both marimbaphone and vibraphone complete heterophony, to give out a simultaneous variation of a single melodic line.
