I am planning to go for Berkerlee Mallet studies.
They need three solo pieces of different styles.
So I will use Abe's Dance of Cherry Blossom and Swatner's
Velocities. Any suggestion for the third one?
I was thinking of 2 Movement, but i think it's kinda
close to Abe's style. So is there any other pieces I can play? By the way, Ultimatum I is pretty cool but dont know how to get it. How hard is it?
Ultimatum 1 is exceedingly difficult! Ive been working on it since last summer, and I think I need a few more months to play it really well.
it requires immense control of independent rolls, and hand to hand independence, and above everything else stamina. This piece is not easy by any means.
It can be ordered through Steve Weiss, I'd also order the recording, To the Gods of Rhythm.
Good Luck
Scott
