Your skills with 4 mallets is very refined! Just from a first at this point your learning process it sounds like you perfected it with a metronome. Very strict with the time. More dynamics and rubato and this could truely be a 1st class performance piece for you.
@mjollner23 That's because it's meant to be open for interpretation. The piece was never meant to be played the way it's written. it was only a way for stout to get in all the notes.
@tautet689 I disagree. Stout knows what he's doing. Granted, if you do play it EXACTLY the way it is written in strict time it becomes very stiff... But if you learn like that and know what it's supposed to actually sound like, then you can decide where you want to push and pull. You will have a very different experience with this amazing piece of music. If you still wanna throw everything to the wind after you want to do that, cool! You atleast know the composers intent.
@mjollner23 I'll agree to disagree but I believer my main intent was to express that it's not good in strict time and I very much dislike those interpretation (which you hinted at above). Also, my percussion instructor, Dr. Andy Harnsberger, took some lesson from Stout and the words I used are from Stout himself. Thank you so much for being able to have an adult conversation and not get offended by my comment.
This is great! I'm learning this movement right now, it's a lot of fun. If you don't mind me asking, where did Mark end up going to school (if it was a conservatory kind of thing)?
OMG the camera angle on this freaked me out so much. I saw it and thought the marimba was like 6 octaves. So i counted them, and simmered down. There's only 4 1/2
Once more great job mark!

Well played... But why no one ever bothers to actually learn the rythms written is a mystery to me.
