In January 1964 Bernd Alois Zimmermann interrupted the completion of his opera Die Soldaten [The Soldiers] in order to rearrange his orchestral work Dialoge for two pianos. Monologe takes up the original material but develops it towards a different direction: Zimmermann's collage technique based on quotations extends over the entire musical setting so that it is not only Mozart (Piano Concerto in C major KV 467) who has his say but Beethoven, Messiaen and Bach as well. Monologe is a piece for two pianists; real monologues of these pianists who, though simultaneously, [...] do not always play at the same time; [...] losing themselves in their own thoughts, as it were. -Zimmermann.

Lauri Kilpiö's (b. 1974) Six Winter Scenes for two pianos (2022) was commissioned by Joensuu Conservatory. The nostalgic memories and different impressions of winter take the technical abilities of the performers into consideration. The short, hazy movement I Blue Dusk Descends brings the winter. The other move-ments include the bright movement II Echoes in a Snowy Forest, the toccata-style movement III Ride through a Blizzard, the glitteringly impressionistic movement IV Ice Skating on the River, the enigmatic movement V Birds on the Snowdrift, and the energetic movement VI Woken Bear Rock, which brings the spring.The suite can be performed in its entirety at a time, or it is also possible to perform only individual movements of it. The same piano duo may perform the whole work, or the performers may also change between the movements.Duration: 14'Osat / MovementsI Sininen hämärä laskeutuu | Blue Dusk DescendsII Kaiut lumisessa metsässä |Echoes in a Snowy ForestIII Ratsastus läpi pyryn | Ride through a BlizzardIV Luistelu joella | Ice Skating on the RiverV Linnut hangella | Birds on the SnowdriftVI Heränneen karhun rock | Woken Bear RockThis product includes one performance score (both piano parts in the same score).

Written in 1979 after seeing an exhibition of Rothko's paintings in Cologne, O is one of Barry's earliest published works. Both piano parts are the same and the composer describes the work as an exploration of ornamentation (the bending of an existing melody) and an etude in co-ordination (the challenge of playing exactly together).

Here Rheinberger drew on his two-piano arrangement of the Goldberg Variations not only for the choice of instruments, but also for his arrangement technique. At times Mozart's piano part alternates between the two pianos, though usually new parts are added to flesh out the texture harmonically in various ways. Occasionally Rheinberger also adds motivic parts, though never with the same skill or density as in the Goldberg Variations. In this, however, he demonstrates a consummate sense of style precisely by adhering to the compositional fabric of his original models.

The composer stresses that the two pianists can only realize the symmetrical structures through cooperation. They must be travelling in agreement along the same path. An extremely important work from a uniquely powerful composer.
