This is an original edition set of parts for the "Dance of the Comedians", arranged for marimba orchestra by Clair Omar Musser. The Dance of the Comedians is from Smetana's comic opera "The Bartered Bride". This version, arranged by Musser and published by Forster in 1942, includes 6 separate parts for marimbas 1 - 5 plus a contra-bass part. Each part is contained within its own booklet, complete with cover page. All of the parts are included and each is in excellent condition. There are a few light pencil rehearsal marks that do not obscure the printed music in any way. Musser's marimba orchestra from the late 1930's was famous for its world tour using King George model Deagan marimbas. The Forster arrangements are almost certainly part of the repertoire that Musser arranged for the tour. It is exciting to see this original edition that is one of twelve offered by Forster along with solos and master works, as shown in the attached Forster catalog. This set of parts will make an exciting addition to any percussion music library.
