A movement for a Short Attention Span – For Marimba and Piano<\/p>\n

By Ted Messerschmidt<\/p>\n

A Movement for Short Attention Span<\/em> is an arrangement of the last
\nmovement of Three Movements for Short Attention Span<\/em>, a piece for
\npiano I wrote in graduate school. The title refers to the relatively
\nshort length of the piece and is a commentary on modern listening
\nhabits; I hope that the fast pace of the piece combined with its short
\nlength will allow even the most impatient listeners to remain engaged
\nduring its performance. As an arrangement, A Movement for Short
\nAttention Span is not the most idiomatic piece for marimba, but it
\noffers the modern marimba soloist the exciting opportunity and
\nchallenge to play pianistically with four mallets.<\/p>\n
