Composers throughout the 20th century demanded more from percussionists. Pieces such as Igor Stravinsky's L-Histoire du Soldat (1918) and Darius Milhaud's La Creation du Monde (1922-1923) require skill on a wide array of instruments and the ability to move seamlessly from one instrument to the next. These compositions, along with many others, created a new repertoire for percussionists. Solo multi-percussion pieces, such as William Kraft's French Suite (1962) and Rick Tagawa's Inspirations Diabolique (1964), quickly became well-known solo works for percussionists. Today, composers write percussion parts and solos that are increasingly challenging.
