Four-Mallet Progressive Literature for Marimba
Four-Mallet Progressive Literature is designed to be a companion to my Four-Mallet Method for Marimba. The music selected for this text comes from guitar and keyboard literature of major composers from the 16th through 19th centuries.
Four-Mallet Progressive Literature includes 44 solos that are categorized into four different four-mallet techniques: double vertical strokes, single alternating strokes, rolls and single independent strokes. Music is presented in order of difficulty within each section to allow a logical progression of study through each stroke type.
