Description

Arrangement of Schumann's Geburtstagsmarsch for piano 4 hands in a classic style for snare drum-glockenspiel and piano duo. Great for school or home concertos, as a gift from percussion students to their parents. Not very technically demanding (percussion medium-easy, piano accompaniment medium-easy), the student should practice the rudiments in piano or pp (low volume), anyway. All rolls played as press rolls. As a composition from romantic period, special attention should be on dynamic, snare drum shouldn't be too loud compared to piano accompaniment.
