Barati-Three Inventions for Solo Timpani-4-7T OS

Three Inventions by George Barati is a work that will challenge even advanced timpanists. Originally scored for four drums, the performer may choose to use five or even as many as seven drums in order to negotiate the complexities of the three desciptive movements, which are titled:

I. The Bully and the Wimp No.1
II. Interlude and Cadenza
III. The Bully and the Wimp No.2

Meticulous editing by Charles Dowd, to whom the piece is dedicated and who gave the first performance provides vital clarification of technical details.

Number of players: 1
Difficulty: Advanced

Instrumentation: 4-7 timpani
