The pieces are short and designed to improve percussionists' ability to move fluently among different playing surfaces. The studies are written at the intermediate level and require a small number of instruments.They become more difficult as the book progresses and can be used for both study and performance. A picture of each study's set-up and an instrument key are provided to help the performer. The pieces are named after skeletal-muscular motions of the human body.\u003cbr\u003eComposers throughout the 20th century demanded more from percussionists. Pieces such as Igor Stravinsky's \u003ci\u003e L'Histoire du Soldat \u003c\/i\u003e (1918) and Darius Milhaud's \u003ci\u003e La CrÈation du Monde \u003c\/i\u003e (1922-1923) require skill on a wide array of instruments and the ability to move seamlessly from one instrument to the next. These compositions, along with many others, created a new repertoire for percussionists. Solo multi-percussion pieces, such as William Kraft's \u003ci\u003e French Suite \u003c\/i\u003e  (1962) and Rick Tagawa's \u003ci\u003e Inspirations Diabolique \u003c\/i\u003e (1964), quickly became well-known solo works for percussionists. Today, composers write percussion parts and solos that are increasingly challenging.","brand":"C.
