Review from Percussive Notes (2022):
Schlagzeug Duo 2 for Percussion Duo
Michael Ranta
This 1974 duo for two percussionists looks to be quite a challenge for any level of performer. No audio or video examples can be easily found online, although there is a score sample.
With no time signature or use of barlines, this hand-written score has plenty of potential for an exciting collaboration between two performers. Multiple sections of varying textures will force the players to use their entire array of musicianship while still supporting their duet partner. There are plenty of directions and implement suggestions, all in German, to help the performers explore the tones and timbres of the massive collection of instruments needed.
The setup is quite large, with each player having a keyboard percussion instrument along with multiple drums, timpani, metals, and accessory instruments. There are also directions for nine different implements to use throughout. This piece only comes with one score copy, so both players will need to acquire their own copy in order to perform the duet
