Cards on the table - it's sight-reading time! Keyboard beginners can now train their sight-reading abilities with 16 piano and orchestral classics in new arrangements for two instruments and four players, each of them using one hand only. Thereby they will be able to gain experience in ensemble playing and acquire motivation by playing pieces they might not master on their own yet. For a better orientation in the score, the four symbols from playing cards are assigned to the four parts. Advanced students can also use the arrangements as piano duets - ideal for group lessons and recitals!

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).

Max Regers Auseinandersetzung mit der Musik Richard Wagners geht bis in seine frühe Jugend zurück. 1888 erlebte er in Bayreuth Aufführungen von Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg unter Hans Richter und Parsifal unter Felix Mottl. Bis an sein Lebensende blieb Wagner für Reger einer der größten Komponisten, häufig dirigierte er dessen Vorspiele in Konzerten. 1909 trat Regers Verleger mit Blick auf das kommende Wagnerjahr 1913 erstmals an den Komponisten heran und bat ihn, Orchesterstücke Wagners für Klavier einzurichten. Wegen verschiedener Verpflichtungen und gesundheitlicher Probleme konnte Reger die Bearbeitungen erst 1913 bzw. 1914 fertigstellen. Die Bearbeitungen wurden, bedingt durch die Besetzung mit zwei Klavieren, eher für den Konzertgebrauch konzipiert.
