== Description ==
The Five Pieces for Vibraphone focus on gaining control of the instrument's ringing bars for clarity of the various musical lines contained in each composition. This is accomplished first through two-mallet long and short tones (with and without the pedal), then with pedaling that corresponds to meter. Next, the pieces include dead strokes as a technical precursor to subsequent stick dampening, and finally culminate in a four-mallet composition that combines all previous dampening techniques.
