Performed by Victor Caccese Welcome to another installment of 100+ "standard" pieces that will comprise our MARIMBA LITERATURE LIBRARY - recorded by some of the most talented young percussionists in the country. We're confident that the performances in this project will become an essential reference that ALL young students should study while learning the important pieces in the marimba repertoire!

Toshimitsu Tanaka's "Two Movements for Marimba" was written in 1965 and is a showpiece exploiting many of the modern day marimba techniques. These techniques began to take shape in the time just after the second World War. The first movement is structured in a relentless, driving tempo.
