Marimba part
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2019 6:25 am
Hi all,
A decision to make...
Option 1: Write out a busy marimba part in full (with repeats written out in full), but also no opportunities for page turns, so the performer must memorize the music.
Option 2: Use repeats such as "9 TIMES" and 4 bar passages with repeats bars, etc, combined with multi-page spreads. Gould says it will be risky in performance. (And I would tend to agree).
What is one to do in this situation?! I am leaning towards Option 1.
Cheers,
Hector.
