First Impressions

Andrew Patzig

Medium Marimba Solo

Instrumentation: 

• Marimba—low C

First Impressions is a musical illustration of the lasting effects of a first impression by introducing an initial thematic motive, then having it recur throughout the work. In this piece, Andrew Patzig has created a great vehicle for the intermediate marimba artist to highlight their expressive musical capabilities while refining their 4-mallet technique. This solo will be equally at home in lesson studios, concert halls, or liturgical settings, providing a satisfying experience for both performers and listeners alike.

This piece ships as a printed, professionally bound folio with a full-color cover.
