Publisher Desc.  For_____* (2023) For violin, piano, and timpani Level of Timpani part: Beginner Level of Violin and Piano: Intermediate/Advanced Duration: 4' Composed by Jennifer Bellor Dedicate the piece to your timpani player and add the first name of the timpanist to the title of the piece. This piece was written to feature a timpani player who is in the very early stages of learning the instrument and who wants to perform for the first time with their esteemed musician friends. I wrote the piece for Ellis Landau, a wonderful friend and supporter of the Las Vegas Philharmonic. Titled FOR ELLIS, Ellis premiered the piece alongside his distinguished friends from the Phil at a gala event on March 29, 2023. It was his first time performing on stage and before the premiere, did not have a musical background. The timpani player (for whom this piece was written) did not read music. In lieu of the standard notation, I created a chart of numbers for the player. I also conducted the premiere in order for him to follow all of my cues and know when to play. There are two versions: one featuring flute and another featuring violin For more information, please email [email protected].
