Paganini Caprice no 24 on marimba

Danish marimbist Anders Elten performs Johan Bridger's arrangement of the famous 24th caprice by N. Paganini.
I recently found this old (2017) video hiding on my Google Drive - the project was never completely finished, and unfortunately the resolution is a bit on the poor side. However, I thought it might be worth the upload anyway. I hope you enjoy!

The control of how heavy/light your playing is world class😮

Hello, Master, I am a student of a conservatory of music in China. Seeing the 24th pahanini thought song you released in youtobe, I really want to bring this work to China so that Chinese students can also play your work!

[@wstymsty]

Hey there Anders, is there sheet music for this

[@playerpiano5966]

What mallets are these? I would like to use them!!

[@anderseltenmarimba]

Sure, the mallets are from Resta-Jay Percussion, France, and are from the Johan Bridger series (3x orange in top) and Jean Geoffroy series (1x blue mallet bass). The mallets are excellent quality, especially for "classical" repertoire, in my opinion :)

Hi! I learned this piece directly from Johan Bridger, then made some small adaptions on my own. You can try contacting Johan Bridger for the score, I don’t think it is published yet however.
