Hi there, and a warm welcome to my channel! I'm a classical marimbist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. On this channel I will mainly be uploading videos of solo/chamber music for marimba, often of my own arrangements/transscriptions. I plan on uploading some educational videos as well in the future to share some tips/tricks - however, I haven't quite gotten the necessary setup (and time) yet. Feel free to leave a comment or two or otherwise get in touch, and don't remember to subscribe for future videos and to help the channel grow :)
La Campanella - Solo marimba version!
Danish marimbist Anders Elten presents his new solo marimba arrangement of F. Liszt's concert etude for piano "La Campanella" - the third etude in the "Grandes Études de Paganini" series (S. 141).
The thematic material of the etude derives from N. Paganini's 2nd violin concerto - Liszt ingeniously combines the simple material with numerous virtuoso piano techniques designed to dazzle the audience. The piece ebbs and flows with contrasting A/B sections - playful, yet somehow restrained, "A" sections give way to joyful "B" sections that charge ever forward, gradually building momentum.
The technical challenges of the etude are amplified manifold on the marimba, but I tried to stay as faithful as possible to the "layout" of the original etude, preserving as many voices and techniques as possible. I had to transpose the entire etude in order to better preserve high/low contrast. The result is devilishly difficult, showcasing a wide variety of usual and unusual marimba techniques such as double octave skips, superfast triples, three/four note one-hand arpeggios, one-handed three-voice polyphony, octave + fifth intervals and "extreme wingspan" passages. I'll probably eventually tweak the arrangement slightly and then re-record it - however for now, please enjoy my first attempt at bringing "La Campanella" to life on solo marimba!
If you want to give this arrangement a go, it is now published by Edition Svitzer! Please find it through the following link: www.editionsvitzer.com/catalog/wksjxa9tus/c-23/p-2714

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! Video by Karólína Thorarensen Audio by Tors...

Wow absolutely amazing 👏 I like that you used two differnt grips to hold the mallets. I have never seen that. Bravo!
Impossible. I’m watching something completely impossible being done. Still impossible.
Way better than that other girl's.
I could be wrong, but is he using stevens in the left and cross in the right?
Is there sheet music for this?
Absolutely beautiful!

I'm impressed with your musicality and technique. I'd like to get the sheet music. Where can I get it?
Thanks a lot for your kind words! The arrangement is published through Edition Svitzer, you should be able to track it down on their website :) good luck!!
How much hours did you had to play so well this piece? I'm impressed, thank you for your video!
Thanks a lot! I’ll admit to having spent quite a few hours in the practice room with this one 🙈
Ilove thiS!!!! Bach on marimba is why I wanted to learn the instrument in the first place! Thank you for your lovely and intimate interpretation of this piece. You have an understanding of the energy between notes unlike many others. I deeply appreciate your dedication to the subtle nuances in execution of your concepts...very inspiring for the rest of us!
Another magnificent performance full of musical magic, subtle inflection and mesmerizing motion..BRAVO!!!!!!!THank you for your YEARS of focus!!!!

Having been a pianist (retired) now learning marimba.....I am amazed that this is even possible on marimba.Beyond beautiful musically and technically.....Wonderful!!!!!

God, how do you make this look so easy???
Bravo 👏 superb
Wow! Superb.
Extraordinario!!!!!
Nice play! Is that Steven's grip on the left and cross grip on the right?
👏👏👏
Bravissimo!!
those one handed chromatic runs are ridiculous. thank you for sharing
Extraordinary.
it's like mallets are controlling him and he's just going with it that's so cool
not only mastery of the technique but brilliant mastery of the music!
Bravo.
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 :)
fav part was when he played the marimba
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Unbelievable technique !
Those one handed chromatic runs kinda blew my mind 😅😅
Wow!!!
Wow! Amazing fantastic play! I love it!
Wow assembling and disassembing the instrument is quite the job.
Where i can buy this arregement ?
Where can I find the sheet?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
