A new collection of seven original solos for
developing 4-mallet marimba technique. For each solo in this
wonderful collection, there is a full page of exercises meant for
technical development (concentrating on the strokes being used in
the piece) and piece preparation (concentrating on specific patterns
found in the piece). You will find that For Four really
fills a gap within 4-mallet marimba literature.
