Description:

This percussion duet is in three movements, and is suitable for more advanced students. As the rhythmic and technical aspects too often overshadow the purely musical side, the piece should be performed with great brio. Few instruments are needed: four tom-toms, two drums and two pairs of claves. The list is purely for indicative purposes. The choice of instruments is free, as long as the required effects are produced.
