Beethoven-Classic Mallet Trios arr. Slawson (SP)-B/V/M

Classic Mallet Trios by Beethoven arranged for orchestra bells, vibraphone, and 4.3-octave marimba by Brian Slawson. This collection features four classics that work splendidly as individual pieces or one four-movement work reflecting popular forms commonly used in symphonic works from the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition to providing inside access to valuable repertoire from one of the great master composers, this "mini-symphony" reveals the importance of key relationships, tempo relationships, and contrasting dynamics. "Allegro con brio" (from the Fifth Symphony), "Adagio" (from the Emperor Concerto), and "Für Elise" and "Ode to Joy" (from the monumental Ninth Symphony) comprise this exciting collection, wonderfully suited for solo & ensemble applications and bound to thrill audiences in concert settings.
