Centipede was the first substantial work written by Christopher Swist, composer of the critically praised Streamline. In Centipede, Swist explores the key of F# minor in a quasi-improvistory style, inviting the more confident player to feel free to expand upon the written ideas. However, the piece works beautifully, as written, and is excellent for the development of mallet control.
