Stravagante

Stravagante is a high school drumline audition étude, written to test the application of fundamentals in a musical context. The rudimental content will provide the listener with an excellent cross-section of the student’s capabilities, and the breadth of the noted tempo range allows students to interpret the piece however they will best shine. At the same time, the frequency of flams and slurred drags may make this piece inappropriate for some students, and Meticuloso would be a more suitable audition étude.
