Series: Belwin Edition Category: Piano Trio (1 Piano, 6 Hands) Format: Book Instrument: Piano Level: Late Intermediate Written when the composer was just 17 to 18 years of age, these romantic-styled pieces for piano trio were dedicated to 3 friends, Natalya, Lyudmila, and Vera Skalon. They feature a short passage that would later be used in Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, beginning the 2nd movement. It is an especially nice, and playable, ensemble concert piece, technically within the reach of late intermediate artists.

Originally written on request to provide some light-hearted and entertaining repertoire for five pianists who wished to play in an ensemble on one piano. This resulting collection is a complete novelty and is bound to be an unusual and fun experience for players and their audience. It will also provide piano teachers with an answer to the question: What would be completely different for the school concert?

These pieces are aimed at the pianist of grade III to IV standard, as a vehicle for improving rhythm and balance of tone. / Piano 6 Mains
