- Danish marimbist Anders Elten performs Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Gavotte et Six Doubles" in a new adaption for solo marimba.
J. P. Rameau's famous masterpiece "Gavotte et Six Doubles", originally composed for the harpsichord, presents a formidable technical challenge when adapted to the marimba. With its intricate ornamentation, fast single line runs, complex polyphonic parts and rapid one-handed arpeggios, it is certainly not a walk in the park - however, the musical matter, perhaps surprisingly, lends itself very naturally to the sound universe of the modern concert marimba.
Mallets (left to right): Resta mallets, Jean Geoffroy series: Green, Schlagkraft, NJZ series: 2 & 4

Recorded at Koncertkirken in Copenhagen.
Another magnificent performance full of musical magic, subtle inflection and mesmerizing motion..BRAVO!!!!!!!THank you for your YEARS of focus!!!!
Extraordinario!!!!!
Unbelievable how fantastically you got this piece to speak. I utterly love seeing adaptations like this, and think it's one of the most 'useful' things a musician can do - Playing something on an Instrument that the piece wasn't originally wrote for - It forces the unusual in to ones playing in beautiful ways - What a beauty you made here! Incredible work Anders, thank you.
Thanks a lot! I totally agree - taking pieces not originally intended for the instrument forces one to learn/invent new approaches to sound and technique. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment! :)
So breathtakingly beautiful.

Hi Mr. Elten, I was wondering if you wrote down your arrangement of this? It's beautiful:)
Hi there! Thanks a lot! There isn’t too much to write down, as I’m more or less just trying to play all the notes and ornaments as written (quite a few low A’s have to be bumped up an octave or two). You can find the score on IMSLP, it’s included in the second book of Rameau’s keyboard works, I believe. Have fun :)
Amazing job ❤ congratulations
Thanks a lot!
