Nice movement around the keyboard - but don't ever sacrifice tone quality. It reminds me of playing Abe's Prism when you have to go to low notes and need to play soft. If you want to keep the same mallet choice then you need a lighter touch even though you have to rebound such a far distance to the low end of the keyboard.

the thing to do would have been to keep same mallet is the right hand and a tad softer one in the left hand..

Wonderful execution. I was impressed by your speed and accuracy more than anything else. I remember when Gordon Stout came to the Alabama Day of Percussion last year, he was talking about how he thought that two-mallet works nowadays are seriously under rated. This etude proves his theory is correct. I think I'm going to give it a whirl this summer. :-)

oh yeah, there's nothing wrong with playing two mallets. I find it to be more fun since its easier to execute and one has more ability to move freely about the keyboard. Yeah, you should definitely give it a try. The piece has more subtleties than most, except they are compacted in about a minute or so. Good luck and have fun.

Quick question....I was trying to find the sheet music for this piece i was wondering if got the music out of the Gordon Stout Etudes For marimba book? There are three of them and i don't really wanna buy all three for one piece of music and was wondering if you knew if Etude 2 was in bk. 1, 2, or 3?
