Par MIER MARTHA. Book 4 of this series continues with four duets in jazz, rags, and blues styles. The duets are slightly longer than the duets in books 1 through 3, creating a satisfying performance experience for advancing students. 'These duets would be a great addition to any recital or performance experience is excellent for sight reading at a lesson with the teacher; or used to provide personal pleasure as the music is shared with the duet partner.' Jean Ritter, Progressions / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Piano Music, Scores / Recueil / Piano 4 Mains

Arranged For Piano Duet-Bridge wrote his Suite for Strings in 1909-10 and it was published by Goodwin and Tabb in 1920. Composer and publisher had high hopes that the suite would be a popular success and a Piano-duet version was apparently prepared. The manuscript of this has not survived nor have any printed copies been traced. The Frank Bridge Trust therefore commissioned Hwee San Tan to make an arrangement which recieved its first public performance at the City University London on October 29th 1991 played by the arranger and Charlene Wells.

This is a wonderful piece full of Warlock’s characteristic subtle harmonic changes and it has been effectively transcribed for Piano Duet by Fred Tomlinson of the Peter Warlock Society. There are comprehensive background notes in an extensive introduction. Note that two copies of this book are required to perform this work.

Works For Piano Duet-'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions the eclecticism of good taste charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Fauré's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mère l’Oye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole Selfiana. The Variations puériles sur une mélodie de CarlReinecke manifest a free whimsical vein whereas the Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from a handwritten score the Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Pièce en forme d’aria et Bergerie from 1896 finely polished takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale popular in the 17th century.
