Toru Takemitsu: "Gitimalya" for Marimba and Orchestra

Toru Takemitsu

GÎTIMÂLYA For Marimba and Orchestra

(piano reduction: Mateo Servián Sforza)

GENERAL NOTES •

The notation of accidentals is the one adopted by Takemitsu itself in the manuscript orchestral score and marimba part.

•

The metronome markings are those indicated by Takemitsu in the original score; however, slightly slower tempos might be advisable.

•

In the piano reduction, pedal marks were indicated only where certain specific sonorities were desired; nonetheless, the sustain pedal must be used (carefully) throughout the piece.

OBSERVATIONS

•

Two rhythmical imprecisions were found in the manuscript of the marimba part: ▪ In the first measure of section “F”, the first beat reads as follows (both in the manuscript orchestral score and marimba part): and was corrected as:

▪ In the sixth measure of section “K”, the second beat reads as follows (in the manuscript marimba part): and was corrected as (accordingly to the manuscript orchestral score):
