Every percussionist is faced with many challenges in their studies and their careers.  In this paper I hope to shed light on what kind of work goes into preparing, practising and performing a large solo percussion piece and share some of my personal experience with solo percussion music. This is done by choosing a piece from the repertoire and documenting what processes and methods are used from the time a piece has been chosen until it is ready for performance. The subject of this thesis is Rebonds b by Iannis Xenakis for solo percussion. The result is a blueprint that can be useful for young percussionists when they are faced with a large piece from the repertoire and guidelines for what to do when faced with challenges. === <p>Iannis Xenakis - Rebonds b</p><p>Keiko Abe - Wind Sketch</p><p>George Hamilton Green - Valse Brilliante (arr.
