Sonata for Piano four Hands (Poulenc, Francis)

Masterly works reprinted from authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition for two Pianos. Includes just one copy of the score.

This sonata for two pianos, four hands was written in 1781 for performance by Mozart and Josephine von Aurnhammer, one of his finest students. The first and third movements are fast and brilliant, contrasted by a gently flowing second movement. This edition includes editorial fingering and performance suggestions. / Piano Duo

From the dynamic rhythms of its opening Prelude and the luxurious harmonies of Meditation and the breathless Toccata Carl Vine’s Sonata for Piano Four Hands (2009) packs a wide range of styles and emotions into its 23-minute span reinvigorating a much-loved chamber music genre for the 21st Century.

Piano duet score. 1st performance Ellesmere College January 1986 by Richard Markham and David Nettle. Duration c.24 minutes. The work is in three movements and the musical thought is symphonic. The first movement (based entirely on the opening motive) goes through a series of paragraphs which eventually culminate in an extended melodic line played entirely by the treble player. The middle movement is a playful Scherzo with a rather sardonic waltz for its Trio. The slow movement (which comes last) is much more relaxed and concentrates on a D major motive with sharpened fourths but the more intense moods of the first movement return in a suddenly impassioned middle section.

Par . This volume from the series Music from Chopin's Land includes three (differing in terms of form and style) works by Polish composers for a piano duo. These compositions, dedicated for students aged 14-16 and amateur pianists, shall help acquaint them with the issues of a piano duo and the charm of four-hand piano playing. Four-hand piano playing poses an exceptional challenge. It develops a wide concept of sound diversification, control over hands and their technique, and a unique ability to unify articulation of both pianists. The pianists, while listening to their individual play and concentrating on the play of their partners, become enriched with special sensitivity to the sound quality. A piano duo teaches sensitivity to the other person and mutual responsibility for the preparation and performance of the work. This constitutes the biggest challenge to chamber music, bringing remarkable satisfaction and joy out of mutual music making. / Date parution : 2023-11-03/ Recueil / Piano 4 Mains
