Masterpieces for Marimba: A Collection from the Finest Musical Literature to Meet the Needs of the Percussion Keyboard

I first got this book (in 1971!) as a percussionist and worked through the solos on the vibes. It stimulated me to explore more on Bach, Handel, Telemann. When I started classical guitar (1973) it was perfect for getting me to traverse the fingerboard. I ignored the percussion notation (sticking, etc.) and added string, fret and finger notation. Later (1974), I studied flute and used the collection again ignoring the percussion and guitar notation and built a decent flute technique. Now that I am studying violin and tenor recorder, I couldn't ask for a better collection. I bought a new copy through Amazon so that I start again with adding violin notation - there was no room to add anything in my first copy which I have owned for 41 years...

My son is using this for audition pieces. He has enjoyed it.

A really fun book that I can spend hours playing with.

It arrived quick and has alot of two mallet pieces to choose from repertoire

Needed for solo competition. Had the music needed. Shipment was very fast. Got here faster than estimated. etc, etc,etc. Had to do that to reach the minimum number of words.

Awesome! works as advertised.
