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.

Witaj Reksio! (Hello Reksio!) for two pianos is a collection of short music pieces for young performers. A few titles included in it refer to the themes from the well-known TV series for children, created by Lechoslaw Marszalek in the Animated Film Studi on Bielsko-Biala. The main hero is a very popular character in Poland: a nice dog Reksio who, together with his friends, has accompanied the successive generations, entertaining and educating them. The collection also comprises pieces that do not directly refer to the series. I hope the music will stir the listeners' imagination and will communicate all that the young performers want to tell them with their instruments. I wish all young friends interesting interpretation of my music. I also hope that you will create new interesting music stories that will be played and listened to with great joy. [Zenon Kowalowski].

Igor Stravinsky's masterpiece Jeu de Cartes is now one of the standard works in the ballet repertoire and is also played more often as a purely concertante orchestral piece. Richard Rijnvos now transcribed the virtuoso piece for 2 pianos, keeping the individual orchestral parts and octaves precisely to maintain the complexity and expressiveness of the neoclassical original.

Bach's harpsichord concertos have proven extremely popular, though several were originally written as concertos for another solo instrument â either violin or a woodwind instrument. But we know nothing about any such preliminary versions in the case of the A-major Concerto BWV 1055. Its enchantingly songlike middle movement inevitably makes one think of the oboe d�amore, though there is in fact no reason to suppose that its idiomatic, spirited harpsichord writing was conceived from the outset for anything but a keyboard instrument. Ultimately, this music is so fresh and irresistible that all such speculation is irrelevant. For this Henle Urtext edition of the A-major Concerto, we consulted the autograph score and especially the original orchestral parts that presumably contain the musical text of the concerto as Bach himself performed it. You can�t get more authentic than this! The piano reduction contains the solo part with carefully chosen fingerings by Michael Schneidt, plus a piano accompaniment that Johannes Umbreit has arranged so as to be practical and easily playable.

This impressive concert work is a frank dialogue between the players. The four movements are of contrasting character, but always in a conversational style. Jaffe was one of four finalists in the 1991 Friedheim competition. For colleges, conservatories, professionals. Difficult.
