Stout-Etude in A Minor-M

This is an Etude in the tradition of Musser's etudes for marimba. It is based entire on double vertical strokes, in an a/b/a form. In the first and third sections the strokes are alternating hands, and in the middle section together in both hands. It is a fun piece, that is seemingly simple, but no too easy to execute, but interesting musically and with an easy to listen to harmonic vocabulary. Enjoy!
