This thoroughly entertaining set of arrangements from Mike Cornick is a must have for piano duettists. Perfect as encore items as the title suggests these pieces could of course be suitably placed anywhere in the concert programme. John Philip Sousa's The Liberty Bell will be happily recognised as the Monty Python theme music by many members of the audience and Abe Holzman's Blaze Away will set everyone's feet tapping. The rousing traditional Hebrew song Hava Nagila and the popular Billy Boy will have the audience's full attention as will the Radetzky March which is now a traditional encore for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's Day concerts. The CDincludes the complete performance of each duet and if a duet partner is unavailable - or for simply rehearsing separately recorded primo and secondo tracks are provided. Suitable for intermediate-level players and beyond.

Gregory Stone has transcribed these three selected preludes for one piano-four hands. For much of his life George Gershwin sought to integrate the worlds of jazz and classical music. These pieces are not jazz improvisations but they do show something of the style of his own playing. Gershwin had intended to compose a set of twelve a sort of jazz Wohltemperierte Clavier but his unexpected death from a brain tumour at the age of 38 prevented this. At least seven survive (others may have ended up as songs) and this set of three as published form a satisfying unit. The first opens with a blue-note riff which forms the basis of the first theme.Contrasting material follows making use of a distinctive repeated note figure then the first idea reappears in a quasi-orchestral climax. The second prelude shows a curious kinship with Chopin???s A minor Prelude with its eerie accompaniment and hypnotic melody. The third exploits a similar major/minor ambivalence but dextrous syncopation gives it driving rhythmic energy.

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. Arrangement de Yoshiki Miyamoto du ballet du Tschaikowsky ' The Sleeping Beauty ' pour deux pianos est 3 en 1: c'est un livre de musique d'une part, c'est un livre d'images coloré en revanche et ainsi, c'est un livre d'histoire, qui raconte le conte de fées de Princess Aurora, qui est maudite par une fée à s'endormir pendant 100 ans.Cet ouvrage est construit de nombreuses scènes différentes. Chaque scène a des images colorées qui montrent la scène et un thème à être joué à souligner l'humeur de la scène. L'histoire commence avec les pièces simples. Comme le degré de difficulté augmente de pièce à pièce, les enfants sont désireuses d'améliorer leurs compétences pour découvrir comment l'histoire continue. Les deux parties sont égaux concernant le degré de difficulté./ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

An Artistic Late Intermediate Piece For Two Pianos-'The origins of the word concerto have long been debated by music historians. Some have maintained that the word derives from the Latin word concertare which means 'to fight or contend with'. Other believe it comes from conserere meaning 'to join or bind together'. I believe this concerto falls best in the second category with the two Pianos combining into an exciting interactive work. Playing concertos requires the soloist to listen carefully and play out when the solo part is the focus but to blend with the accompanimental part when it isn't. Work to play with rhythmic precision so you're in sync with the second part. And finally bring out allthe expression markings for an artistic and dramatic interpretation. You may just hear some 'bravos' of your own after your fantastic performance!'

Per Pianoforte A Quattro Mani (O Due Pianoforti). Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Dance Of The Cockerel (Hanedans) from the opera Masquerade by Carl Nielsen arranged for for Piano Duet (4 hands) by Esther Bobrova Lange. Arranger's preface: Dance of the Cockerel is a ballet insertion from Act Three of Carl Nielsen's opera Masquerade it is written for a large symphony orchestra. In this version for piano duet (four hands) I used the full orchestral score making sure that the essential orchestra parts were included. The melodic parts and the accompaniment are equally distributed between the primo and secondo parts. The nuances and articulations are written according to the originalscore yet with consideration to the possibilities of the piano. In one of his letters Carl Nielsen wrote that Dance of the Cockerel is like a polonaise. Presumably he meant that it should be played with pride and dignity in order to characterize a young cockerel surrounded by adoring hens that fight for his favour. (Esther Bobrova Lange)
