Customer Reviews

Very interesting arrangements

In questo libro puoi trovare una bellissima raccolta di brani notissimi della musica classica arrangiati in modo esquisito per pianoforte a 4 mani.

Fun songs to play

We love Jamaican Farewell in this book, some of my students play it on the vibes while I play it on piano. The duets are easier than the ones in Piano Duets, and this book is a good partner to that one. (I bought both).

34 easy-but-fun duets - 4 hands 1 piano

These pieces are mostly quite easy to play, and so are suited to beginners, beginners at dueting, or people who just want some fun things to play with a friend that won't need too much work to get going.The pieces are quite short, only a couple are longer than a page, and cover a big range of styles - themes from classics, folk songs and jazz. Also, Agay has made the bars line up for the Primo and Secondo parts (doesn't seem like much until you play a duet without that and have to write the bar numbers on each part).Tunes include: Oh Come All Ye Faithful, The Harmonious Blacksmith, All The Pretty Little Horses, The Trout, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Fasination, and themes from classics and operas.
