Hi,
I have to play a concerto on 19th June and someone recommended the concertino for marimba and wind band by alfred reed. I got grade 8 (GB) several years ago but am pretty rusty as I havent played tuned stuff for a couple of yrs properly. Can anyone advise if they reackon it is too hard/how much 4 mallet stuff there is in it and how long it is?

Thanks a lot
Emma

The only comments that I have heard about the Reed concerto are that it is kind of a long piece, which is uneventful and rather dull. I know the parts aren't terribly complex, probably near or below the Kurka in difficulty (technically speaking). I know the piece is 4 mallet as well.
