1. SPACE (1984, Opus 4) - A short dream
Scoring: Marimba Solo
Duration: 4-7 Min.
Composed the 25th of December 1984 as a protest!! Too many of the composers of today abuse this fabulous instrument by raping it, constructing violent sounds, using xylophone mallets, and by all means do and create terrible acts to be executed on one of the most tender sounds in musical life!!
This was (and still is!!) my version of the true marimba sound.
