{"product_id":"howley-collapse","title":"Howley-Collapse-M","description":"Collapse by Alex Howley is a challenging, programmatic work for marimba inspired by a dark, heartbreaking play titled \"Marybeth.\" \u003cbr\u003eThe piece uses a number of motives representing each character, different relationships, and overall atmosphere of the play. It is through-composed and meant to be played as a story. It requires multiple difficult single alternating techniques, and it is advised that the waltz section (m. 119) uses single alternating strokes crossing over themselves in the RH to achieve a faster speed while staying relaxed and comfortable (a 4-3-4-3 repeating sticking). Stickings are intentionally excluded, however, as the piece can be played largely at the discretion of the performer, and interpretation is encouraged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Marimba (5 octave)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43800303763510,"sku":"23070","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/howley-collapse-m.jpg?v=1773372726","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/howley-collapse","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
