{"product_id":"variations-on-lost-love","title":"Maslanka-Variations on Lost Love-M","description":"\u003ci\u003e Variations on Lost Love \u003c\/i\u003e by David Maslanka is based on a poem by Robert Graves called \"Lost Love\".  The piece is broken up into 4 sections: Theme (A beautiful and morose melody), Part 1 (A variation on the theme, now accompanied by rich chords and interspersed with melodic 'play'), Part 2 (Now using ideas developed in Part I, the theme and its variations are combined into an eerie dance), \u0026amp; Part 3 (Like the quirky movements of bugs, the theme is now disjointed and awkward...then more calming and playful...then relentless and racing.).  This would be a very appropriate piece for an undergraduate or graduate recital as it incorporates many of the essential 4-mallet marimba techniques (double lateral rolls, independent rolls, etc.).  Originally written for Leigh Howard Stevens, this piece was also edited by him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Solo marimba (4-mallets, 4.3 octaves)\u003cbr\u003eDifficutly:  Grade 5+","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826965938230,"sku":"VLL\/P","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/maslanka-variations-on-lost-love-m.jpg?v=1773490632","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/variations-on-lost-love","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
