Khachaturian-Adventures of Ivan-Stevens-M

Aram Khachaturian's Adventures of Ivan skillfully arranged here by Leigh Howard Stevens. A charming set of six intermediate level works. The musical style is unique in the marimba repertoire: Soviet influenced pictorialism with an Armenian flavored chromaticism. The languid melody of the first movement is a near-perfect independent roll study. .

Instrumentation: Marimba (4-mallet, 4.3 or 5 octave)
Difficulty: Grade 5
