"Etude For Long Arms" is a short 2 mallet marimba solo designed to test the performers ability to play the music without looking at their hands. The name comes from the idea that the hands spend much time an octave apart from each other. This extended range will also reach 2 octaves and more apart from each other throughout the solo.
"Etude For Long Arms", also known as Etude in c minor, is the first marimba solo in a series of etudes for two mallets and five octaves.

I really, really like this.... Great composition. It sounds like a Keiko Abe imptovisation, Musser etude and a Gordon Stout composition all rolled into one.
