Everybody knows it, and for many a player it was perhaps the first tentative attempt to coax sounds out of the piano: Chopsticks. The origin of this popular piano piece, like that of most folksongs, cannot be ultimately settled today. Legend has it that it was written by Ferdinand Loh and that the designation of the work 'F. Loh: Walzer' eventually turned into 'Flohwalzer'. But no matter who actually wrote the waltz: It is, without doubt, one of the most famous piano pieces and known all over the world. In France, it is called 'Cotelettes' [Chops], in Great Britain 'Chopsticks', and in Mexico 'Los Changuitos' (Little Monkeys). Technically speaking, however, it is not even a waltz. It is composed in 2/4 time and, with regard to style, rather is a polka or a galop. Eric Mayr transcribed the 16-bar original into a concert version for piano duet.

In view of the fact that most people today appreciate the great didactic value of ensemble playing in the musical education of children, there is a growing interest in the repertoire for four hands. In an attempt to satisfy the demand for works of this type, the present little collection, intended for primary schools, avails itself of the little known French didactic repertoire. These are pieces by contemporary composers of the older generation, written mostly at the beginning of the twentieth century.

This series of easy piano pieces for teaching purposes presents pupils in the early and early-middle stages with a careful selection from well-known and less-known compositions by important masters. The individual volumes are deliberately kept small in compass, since it is more stimulating for children if the literature used for instruction is changed frequently. Amongst the numerous piano works of the composer, pianist and music publisher Anton Diabelli there are some instructional works for piano duet (four hands at one piano) that have retained their freshness and value to this day as the Melodie Studies, op. 149. These attractive short pieces will still appeal to today's piano-playing young people. In the original version, the secondo part is designed for the teacher. In the present edition, this part has been rearranged in such a manner that it, too, lies within the capacities of the student. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Fall 1974.

This collection of piano duets in popular styles aims to add variety to piano lessons by providing attractive pieces in a pop idiom. The part for the first player (Primo) is kept simpler than the accompaniment, so that various combinations of players are possible: student (melody) and teacher (accompaniment) or two students of different playing standards. In this way the young keyboard 'champions' become acquainted with ensemble playing, keeping the tempo, listening to each other, the conventions of modern rhythms and syncopation, as well as being at ease with pop harmonies.
