These duet arrangements offer intermediate to late intermediate pianists the opportunity to play the classics at a much earlier level than if they were to wait to play the original version. By dividing the pieces between two performers, the individual parts are simpler, but the fullness and integrity of the originals remain. Highlights from Book 2 are Beethoven's Für Elise, Satie's 1st Gymnopedie and Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever.

The long awaited sequel to 'Pianoel'. Once again many of these Christmas Carols sound good as solos yet when played together they make brilliant duets! See also 'Easy Pianoel'.Grade: 3 - 4
