Baiao, Guarania, Tango Maracatu and Valse are among the rhythms portrayed in the comparison.\u003cbr\u003eLater on I transcribed those variations and dedicated the piece to the great marimba player Katarzyna Mycka.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Ney Rosauro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 4\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Solo Marimba 5 oct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNey Rosauro is recognized as one of the most original and dynamic symphonic percussionists and composers today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on October 24, 1952, he started studying percussion in 1977 with Luiz Anunciação of the Orquestra Sinfonica Brasileira in Rio de Janeiro.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. Rosauro studied Composition and Conducting at the Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil).
