COMPOSER MASTERCLASS – AN EYE ILLUMINED BY ANOTHER SUN – BERTOLOZZI

Watch the Genesis, Structure and Performance Practice behind this epic work. Not just which mallets to use, but everything from their physical placement to why wearing long sleeve shirts & pants are recommended when performing it. Also covered are extended “flumie” techniques, muting, its general aesthetic, and very importantly for a non-pitched instrument, the reason and structure of phrase-repetitions contrasted with free interstitial sections.
