MA’RITA is a multifaceted piece for vibraphone, that is dedicated to my
beloved mother (I call her „Ma“ and her name is Rita – which explains the title).
To give the performer plenty of freedom in interpreting the piece, there is
hardly any indication regarding dynamics. But some expression specifications
(such as dolce, drammatico, etc.) can give you inspiraton for dynamic
intensity.
I wish all vibraphonists a lot of fun and success with MA’RITA!
Special thanks go to Leonhard Waltersdorfer for the fantastic interpretation
and release video.
