Lighty-Concert Etude-4T/P

Alan Lighty's Concert Etude is a great introduction to multiple percussion music with a fairly small set-up and common percussion instruments. The piece requires the performer to play on different parts of the timpani heads (center, rim, etc.), change mallets/sticks, use the butt ends of mallets, and play polyrhythms.

Number of players: 1
Difficulty: Intermediate

Instrumentation: 4 timpani, 2 triangles, 2 cymbals, 2 gongs
