Bien que Robert Schumann absolument adoré jouer un duo, il écrit seulement quelques oeuvres pour piano duo. Créée en 1848, Bilder aus dem Osten opus 66 était une des oeuvres plus connus et les plus souvent jouées dans la littérature de piano duo jusqu'au XXe siècle. Mais ne les Polonaises opus 3 par le compositeur de 18 ans, suivant l'exemple de Franz Schubert et même dépassant lui en audace harmonique et ingéniosité tonale déjà montrent l'autodidacte Schumann sur le chemin de son propre style. Après que le volume 1, qui contient les oeuvres plus faciles composée pour fins d'enseignement de la musique, volume 2 contient maintenant le Ballszenen opus 109 charmant, pourtant guère connu en plus de ces deux oeuvres susmentionnées. La nouvelle édition de la Wiener Urtext édition basé sur le texte musical de la nouvelle édition complète de Schumann (édité par Joachim Draheim et Bernhard Appel) fournit, pour la première fois, un texte original fiable basé sur les sources, surtout pour les 8 Polonaises qui avaient été édités insuffisamment jusqu'à maintenant.

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)

Dance Of The Cockerel (Hanedans) from the opera Masquerade by Carl Nielsen arranged for for Piano Duet (4 hands) by Esther Bobrova Lange. Arranger's preface: Dance of the Cockerel is a ballet insertion from Act Three of Carl Nielsen's opera Masquerade it is written for a large symphony orchestra. In this version for piano duet (four hands) I used the full orchestral score making sure that the essential orchestra parts were included. The melodic parts and the accompaniment are equally distributed between the primo and secondo parts. The nuances and articulations are written according to the originalscore yet with consideration to the possibilities of the piano. In one of his letters Carl Nielsen wrote that Dance of the Cockerel is like a polonaise. Presumably he meant that it should be played with pride and dignity in order to characterize a young cockerel surrounded by adoring hens that fight for his favour. (Esther Bobrova Lange)

In 1903, Satie composed his famous cycle for piano duet with the provocative and ambiguous title '3 Morceaux en forme de Poire?. (In French, 'poire? means 'pear? but also 'dimwit?). It is a detached and ironic commentary on the constraints of musical form.Now this cycle is being published in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition for the first time. Convenient page turns, a score format, translations of the French expression and tempo markings, Satie's enigmatic introduction, performance suggestions by the Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and a detailed foreword by the renowned musicologist Jens Rosteck make the study and performance of these pieces a true pleasure.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition- Of an easy to moderate level of difficulty- Includes translations of all expression and tempo markings (Fr/Ger/Eng)- Detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano 4 Mains
