Schmitt-Blue Latin Rondo-M 4 hands or V/M

Matthias Schmitt's Blue Latin Rondo is scored for either 2 players on one marimba or one player each on vibraphone and marimba.

The title of the piece is also its program. Influences from jazz, Latin American music and classical music are connected with each other, as well as being juxtaposed in contrast.

The distinctive sounds produced by diverse performance techniques on the marimba form a bridge between musical styles which, considered individually, might seem incompatible.

• Number of players: 2
• Difficulty: Intermediate/advanced
• Instrumentation: 2 players on one marimba (5 octave) or marimba & vibraphone
