Musetta's Waltz - Puccini - Arr. Eric Sammut

[pl2odl2ummer]

Hello everyone, thanks for the nice comments - sorry if I didn't respond to some of the questions asked. I realize that the music that is published for this piece is not the exact same as what I am playing. I transcribed it exactly how Sammut plays it on his 'Four Mallet Ballet' CD. I asked Eric a few years back why this is and he told me that he never plays anything the same way twice - he's an amazing improviser!

[scifidrummergeek]

Very well done. Great interpretation, and nice phrasing. And with my favorite mallets and marimba too!

hey man did you transcribe the beginning of this solo? i bought the music and it doesnt line up with the mp3. =( well not in the beginning at least

@DieNaSty4me It appears as if the beginning is transcribed from the Sammut CD, which is different from the music that he publishes with KPP.

Nice job, man! That sounded familiar. Was that what you played for studio at the end of last semester?

I think at the end of last semester I played 'Over the Rainbow' but I'm sure you've heard me play this piece before at some point in time - but thanks for the compliment!
