Libertango, variations on marimba | SAMMUT Eric
Ref.: KP-Libertango
Libertango, variations on marimba: a piece for solo marimba, by Eric SAMMUT, after Astor Piazzolla's Libertango.
The theme is Piazzolla's, but the writing is Sammut's from beginning to end. The tango unfolds in variations that use the full range of the instrument while keeping the rhythmic drive of the original. The piece calls for a five-octave marimba and four-mallet technique. It is aimed at an accomplished player, in the third cycle or beyond, and ranks among the great successes of the contemporary marimba repertoire. 8 pages.
