Quatre mains

[Bouter Boogie]

Anyone also love to play quatre mains? Anyone know some cool quatre mains pieces?

I play Dolly op. 56 by Fauré, anyone heard of this piece? I love to play it

Hope to get some more ideas of you about other quatre mains pieces!

You don't know? Quatre mains are pieces for 4 hands!

1 piano or 2 piano?

Yes, the Dolly Suite is fun.  Ravel's "Ma mere l'oye" is brilliant, especially "L'imperatrice des pagodes".  Debussy's "Petite suite" is fun, too.

Schubert's Fantasy in F minor is probably the best 4-hand piece ever.

1 piano or 2 piano?

1 piano, otherwise I would have said 2 piano's

Not everyone speaks french.

I know, but the term 'quatre mains' is used quite a lot in the music world, that's why

[BoliverAllmon]

thanks for the enlightenment.

Hum, the hungarian dances by Brahms. The Fantasie in F minor by Shubert...

I believe 2 piano pieces are much more richer though.
