Simply put, Rechargeable Batterie highlights a whole new level of performance that can occur with accessory instruments and does it in a more musically complex and satisfying manner.

Within the first 15 measures, you should notice that Rechargeable Batterie aspires to make music with our newfound accessory percussion skills. At this point the performer is not worried about how to play triangle or castanets as much as how to achieve the proper nuance required by the music. Across a number of dynamic changes, there are ample opportunities for the performer to perfect the proper and musically appropriate touch on the instrument. The independent percussionist does not just play the notes on the page; they actively seek out ways to perform their parts in the most complementary fashion to the rest of the ensemble.

By the time you work up Rechargeable Batterie, you will have percussionists who have many more tools in their toolbox. They will also have gained those tools having to be increasingly aware of how the other performers’ parts fit together. They will be able to play their part but also know how their part functions in the overall ensemble.
