Essential Keyboard Duets, Volume 1

Description

This collection of 45 piano duets (for one piano, four hands) consists of selections for teachers and students at the elementary to late elementary levels. Duet repertoire from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries are included by such composers as Cui, Diabelli, Enke, Foote, Godowsky, Gurlitt, Löw, Reinecke, Sartorio, and more. Students will improve in musicianship, ensemble performance, fingering, and rhythmic control while enjoying this delightful duet literature. To facilitate reading, the primo and secondo parts are on separate pages. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance. Essential ornamentation is realized in footnotes, both parts contain measure numbers for convenient reference, and brief composer biographies are included.
