Seven minutes of rhythmic momentum, colored with three \"col legno\" (with wood) effects: 1) The birch handle is used on the edge of the bar; 2) The mallet head and the handle are used simultaneously (dubbed a \"marimshot\" by Stevens' students); 3) Clusters with the whole length of both handles (dubbed a \"Stevens splash\" by his students). The very limited melodic and harmonic materials of the piece evolve rhythmically from simple, to complex to polyrhythmic, to driving, to spasmodic, ultimately returning to a simple rhythm in the six measure codetta. A huge concert-closing climax. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Solo Marimba (4-mallets, 4.6 octave)\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty:  Grade 6","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43807114330166,"sku":"RC\/P","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/stevens-rhythmic-caprice-m.jpg?v=1773465997","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/leigh-howard-stevens-rhythmic-caprice","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
