About the album

Playing the marimba with effort. Vida Chenoweth (1928-2018), developed by Stevene, teacher at Leigh Howards, was already moving towards a different playing style that resembles what we now call a pianistic approach: choosing phrasing and delicate personal expression as the basis of interpretation. As opposed to making virtuosity and use, it incorporates pianistic approaches and more delicate method of expressing depth in marimba playing. It is an outcome of players over several generations to have a touché on the marimba that would get this delicacy. Arjan Jongsma, at 25 the youngest player of these generations,

The marimba department in Amsterdam has spawned several players, including Theodor Milkov, with whom Arjan sided with to teach a summer marimba course, which opened up these new ideas to an improving and growing pool of marimba players. Using a pianistic technique based on the Moeller method of playing multiple notes in a starter during just one wrist or arm movement, Arjan has succeeded in phrasing the music as the notes are tied together, when played by a string. . This guideline ensures that lines and are detailed and full of imaginary expression.
De marimba bespelen met een inspanning. Vida Chenoweth (1928-2018), ontwikkeld door Stevene leraar van Leigh Howards, was al op weg naar een andere speelstijl die het lijkt bij wat we nu een pianistische benadering noemen: het kiezen van frasering en delicate persoonlijke expressie als basis van interpretatie. In tegenstelling tot het maken van virtuositeit en gebruik, bevat de pianistische benaderingen en delicatere methode om diepte in marimba-spel tot uitdrukking te brengen. Het is een uitkomst van spelers gedurende meerdere generaties om een ​​touché op de marimba te die deze delicatesse zou krijgen. Arjan Jongsma, met zijn 25 jaar de jongste speler van deze generaties,

De marimba-afdeling in Amsterdam heeft verschillende spelers voortgebracht, waaronder Theodor Milkov, met wie Arjan de kant koos om les te geven in een marimba-zomercursus, die deze nieuwe ideeën openstelde voor een verbetering en groter wordende groep marimba-spelers. Met behulp van een pianistische techniek gebaseerd op de Moeller-methode om meer noten in een startering te spelen tijdens slechts één pols- of armbeweging, is Arjan erin geslaagd de muziek te fraseren als de noten aan elkaar vastgemaakt, als ze door een strijker gespeeld worden. Deze richtlijn zorgt ervoor dat lijnen en gedetailleerde en vol denkbeeldige expressie zijn.
Mit einer pianistischen Technik, die auf der Moeller-Methode basiert, bei der mehrere Töne in einem Starter mit nur einer Hand- oder Armbewegung gespielt werden, ist es Arjan Jongsma gelungen, die Musik so zu phrasieren, wie die Töne miteinander verbunden sind, wenn sie von einer Saite gespielt werden. .

Arjan Jongsma (1995) tritt auf verschiedenen Konzertbühnen auf, seit er 12 Jahre alt ist. In seiner bisherigen Laufbahn trat er u.a. beim Internationalen Kammermusikfestival Schiermonnikoog, Festival Wonderfeel 's-Graveland, Bach Festival Dordrecht und dem Internationalen Kammermusikfestival Utrecht auf. Er trat auch als Solist mit Orchestern wie dem Residentie Orkest, Noordpool Orkest, Philips Symphony Orchestra, Nederlands Theater Orkest, Jeugdorkest Nederland und dem Haydn Youth String Orchestra auf. Als freiberuflicher Orchestermusiker vertrat Arjan außerdem das Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Pauken), das RCO Brass (Pauken), das Ballettorchester (Schlagzeug) und verschiedene andere Orchester, und er ist mit der Nieuwe Philharmonie Utrecht als Pauker verbunden.

Während seines Studiums gewann er viele Preise, darunter den 1. Preis beim Nationalen Finale des Prinses Christina Concours in Den Haag, den KPMG-Pressepreis, den Rubens-Quartett-Preis, den Accelerando Classic Award sowie den Jury- und Publikumspreis beim Haydn-Musikfestival 2007 in Groningen.
