Milhaud's Marimba Concerto - Mvmt.1

This is a video of myself playing the first movement out of Darius Milhaud's Concerto for Marimba (and Vibraphone, which is not used in this movement,) and Orchestra. This is the piano reduction.

Very nice playing! Question though - what was your reasoning for not using the different mallet types?

[MarimbaFire2007]

@JasonDeCristofaro I decided not to use others because of various reasons. One is that I didn't own proper rubber mallets at the time, and the other was since the marimba has changed so much from the time this was written, mallets have as well. Some of the directions regarding mallets I take with a grain of salt. Had I been playing this with an orchestra I might have seriously considered some of the choices, but under the circumstances, that was my decision at the time.

@luistollinchi This comment may a little late, but I'm pretty sure I ordered this from a company in France... Enoch et Cie? Je ne sais pas...

nice job! i played the concerto with a orchestra. this is even harder...cause the accompanist should play very much in time! what she(your) and even more my orchestra did not do very well. otherwise this piece sounds bad and somehow like chaos. there are so many nice rythmic things in this piece...

what a dreadful accompanist.

you sound great though!

i have an amazing recording of this concerto.
