It's been re-arranged for Marimba, leaving out many of the notes which the pianist plays with his left hand. Still, all in all it's a difficult piece, and this is very nicely arranged, as well as performed.

Fantasie Impromptu is hard enough on the piano, you didn't have to go and do it with only 4 mallets lol. This is INSANE- I have seen a LOT of marimba performances, and this one is absolutely one of the best recordings of any piece I have heard so far in my life. The musicality + perfect note accuracy + insane technical ability come together so flawlessly it's unbelievable. The fast sections (especially 0:12) are pulled off so well; I'm surprised it's even possible to do something like that, let alone make it sound so good. The arrangement helps out so much with that too. All around amazing performance and piece

It's still harder on the piano, because he's not doing here the bass triplets, which would make it 3 against 4. He's doing only 2 against 1. Granted, it's not easy on a marimba even like that. But rhythmically it can never compare to what the piano has to do.

The piece is opus 66, and there are 66 books in the King James Bible. 66 also points to Matthew 6:6, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” If you don't yet know God our Father through his Son, Jesus, then simply ask the Father to reveal his Son, Jesus, to you!

fantasisie is actually very repetitive, and you only need to play one note at time. It's actually one of the most easiest, if not for polyrythm and fast speed. But if you take the middle section as a seperate piece, it is definitely the top 1 easiest.
