This work was commissioned by world-renowned marimbist Anders Kann Elten with the purpose of making the one-hand independence technique more approachable to percussionists worldwide and bridging the gap between beginning students of the approach and their potential wish of tackling advanced keyboard literature, polyphonic or otherwise, as well as enriching the literature for marimba that includes the one-hand independence technique and pushing the limits of the instrument by standardizing this advanced four mallet approach.
Concert Etude on. 1 in E minor is the first part of a cycle of etudes, holding the title Concert Etudes for Modern Marimba, and mainly focuses on the aspect of rotation. The cycle will include etudes that focus on a specific technical "problem" regarding the one-hand independence technique, such as: rotation, doubles, triplets (not triples), and a combination of all of these in the final "all-rounder" etude.
