Description

Over the centuries, the music for piano duet, originally composed to the delight of ‘connoisseurs and enthusiasts’, has turned into a mature art form which is absolutely on par with the solo literature. This anthology offers piano four-hand pieces from the 18th to the 20th centuries and invites you to an exciting journey through time. The most beautiful and famous pieces of twenty different composers bring together a wonderful collection of piano duets – a treasure chest for playing in duet! In addition to classics by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Grieg, rarely performed compositions by Robert Volkmann, Moritz Moszkowski, Paul Hindemith, Emile Naoumoff and others have been included.
