Chopstakovich

Jesse Sieff's Chopstakovich provides the performer with a great opportunity to display both technical prowess and musicality on the marching snare drum. It is designed to be played to a recording of Movement 2, Allegro Molto, of Chamber Symphony in C Minor by Dimitri Shostakovich (not included) but works just as well as an unaccompanied solo. Jesse composed this piece for his own audition to the Commandant's Own United States Marine Drum Bugle Corps. Spoiler alert - he got the spot!
