Lacerda-Tres Estudos para Percussao (Sn-5)

Tres Estudos by Osvaldo Lacerda for percussion quartet. The program notes explain that in one passage the vibraphone plays a twelve-tone melody against which the cuica and the rasp protest in a surly way. If you're looking for an opportunity to perform some surly cuica, look no farther.
