Etude No. 2

Paul Smadbeck

Paul Smadbeck's Etude No. 2 will help you develop your one handed roll skills. The etude starts out with a undulating permutation that will prepare your hands for a beautifully orchestrated independent roll passage that bleeds into material similar to the opening. This etude is musically and technically challenging.

Paul Smadbeck was born on December 005, 1955. He studied at Ithaca College under Bill Youhass, Walter Mays, J.C. Combs and Gordon Stout. His works for marimba are a staple in the solo literature.
