Tango Tzigane - Jealousy-Tango Jalousie (Tango Tzigane - Jealousy) - Jacob Gade's classic arranged for Piano Duet (four hands) by conductor Esther Bobrova Lange. From the Preface: It is a common misconception that Tango Jalousie (Tango Tzigane) was written for the movie ”Don Q”. The piece was also played at the movie premiere in Paladsteatret on September 14th 1925 but there was no jealousy-based drama in the movie. Nonetheless the melody was well suited to the Zorro legend in a Mexican setting. But in the book “Jacob Gade – et eventyr i musik” (a fairytale in music) by Jørgen GramChristensen one learns that in a 1956 interview Jacob Gade recounted the incident in 1925 which concerned him very much: “One day the magazines featured a dramatic description of a jealousy-based murder and the word “jealousy” stood for me as a title with which the music became more and more attached.”There are many different arrangements of “Tango Jalousie” but I have always found that there was a need for a piano four hands version of this wonderful piece. In the process of working out a piano four hands version I used the full orchestra score and made sure that the most essential orchestra parts were included. Also the melody parts and accompaniment are equally distributed between the primo and secondo parts. (Esther Bobrova Lange)

Cotswold Hill-Tune by Charles Wilfred Orr is a wonderful pastoral tune for Piano 4-Hands that evokes imagery of the English countryside where he spent most of his life.

orchestrated by Ferde Grofé edited by Ryan Raul Bañagale. Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. The names of George Gershwin (1898–1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896–1983) are synonymous across the globe with American musical creativity. The Gershwin family estates, their publishers, and the University of Michigan have joined forces to produce The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition—the first-ever scholarly edition of the Gershwins’ music and lyrics. This all-new practical edition facilitates both study and performance, giving a wide audience of musicians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike greater insight into the Gershwins’ art. The goal is to create clear and definitive publications that achieve the most accurate representations possible of the Gershwin brothers’ unique and pioneering creativity. This all-new critical edition of the original 1924 arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue presents an authoritative transcription of arranger Ferde Grofé’s handwritten holograph score preserved in the collection of the United States Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The edition represents as best as possible the piece as premiered by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra at his 'Experiment in Modern Music' concert on February 12, 1924. Grofé prepared the score for the specific talents and timbres of the Whiteman Orchestra, largely from an ink fair copy of Gershwin’s two-piano short-score manuscript. Gershwin continued to modify the piano solo portion of this short score during rehearsals and, most likely, even after the premiere of the piece. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Par PART ARVO. 'Pari intervallo' was composed in 1976 on the occasion of the death of a friend and is dedicated to his memory. The basic musical material consists of two parts which move exactly parallel to each other, so that the interval between them is always the same- hence the title. 'Pari intervallo' is reminiscent of a chorale prelude which might be prefaced with the lines from Romans 14/8: 'If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.'(Arvo Pärt) Pärt's quiet meditation Pari Intervallo is available in several very diverse settings (4 recorders, organ solo, or clarinet and trombone with string orchestra), and UE now makes available this 2008 version, playable as piano duet or with two pianos. For intermediate to advanced pianists. Dur. c. 5'30'/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

La musique de petites formes devrait être au centre du compositeur français Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). Le professeur de Camille Saint-Saëns a pris après des années dans la 'province' en 1874, un poste d'organiste à Paris, et plus tard comme une caractéristique de musicien d'église ou par des activités éducatives. À l'été de 1887, Fauré écrivit sa Pavane Opus 50, à l'origine destiné à un concert avec le divertissement léger. Ils ont gagné rapidement en popularité comme une version orchestrale avec et sans la valeur ajoutée par Fauré choeur ajouté. Le romantique, la mélodie un peu mélancolique est une mélodie accrocheuse, qui peut maintenant également jouer de la musique à quatre mains au piano à l'arrangement actuel. / Piano 4 Mains

This popular piece of programme music originally written for Orchestra is here arranged for Piano Duet. Synopsis: The cattle-drivers slowly approach the market; the cries of beggars are heard across the bustle. The beautiful princess enters carried by her servants - she stays to watch the jugglers and snake-charmer. The Caliph now passes through the market and interrups the entertainment the princess prepares to depart and the caravan resumes its journey as the sounds of the Persian Market fade into the distance.

Elgar's Opus 36 is a set of variations orginally for Orchestra and arranged for Piano Duet by John E. West.

This flirtatious duet has energetic and vigorous rhythms but leans toward a light elegance with its modest dynamics. First published for string orchestra in 1883 Serenade became quite popular in France and was published forpiano duet in 1905. The composer Gabriel Pierne (1863- 1937) studied at the Paris Conservatory from age 8 until his graduation at age 19. His teachers included Cesar Franck (organ) and Massenet (composition). Audiences willenjoy hearing Serenade almost as much as the duet performers will love performing it!

Ces oeuvres ont été écrites entre 1718-1723 pour le Collegium Musicum de Cöthen et pour le Collegium Musicum de Leipzig. Chaque suite comporte une instrumentation originale et spécifique qui parfois rend hommage à un instrument soliste ou un groupe d'instrument. La difficulté pour les deux interprètes sera de retrouver la richesse du timbre, les phrasés et les articulations propres aux instruments de l'orchestre. / Piano À 4 Mains
