Three serious pieces for the serious vibraphonist. The etudes are tonally complex and technically challenging, as well as musically interesting. Compared to the sheer number of pieces available to the advanced marimbist, the repertoire for advanced vibraphonists is minuscule. These etudes are a step toward evening the score.
