{"product_id":"zeltsman-quatre-quatre","title":"Zeltsman-Quatre Quatre-4T","description":"My first love within percussion was timpani. I played piano from age 5, but my instrumental direction changed at age 13 within an hour of being thrown into playing timpani at a summer band camp rehearsal. (The marimba—the percussion instrument that would become the center of my musical life—came later.)\u003cbr\u003eFast forward about 30 years. In the course of being a guest at a few international percussion events, I became friends with Frederic Macarez, Principal Timpanist of the Orchestre de Paris. During a marimba competition in Stuttgart That Frederic judged in 2002, he became inspired to compose some marimba pieces, consulted me about them, and eventually presented them to me.\u003cbr\u003eTo reciprocate the nice gift of pieces that Frederic wrote for me, I created this 44th birthday gift for him-naturally, all in the time signature 4\/4-which explains the overarching title of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e- Nancy Zeltsman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: 4 timpani\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826982584374,"sku":"ZELTSMAN","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/zeltsman-quatre-quatre-4t.jpg?v=1773503194","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/zeltsman-quatre-quatre","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
