two pianos, 8 hands.

Any recommendations? This setting sounds to me like a lot of fun. I can imagine there being arragements for stuff like Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suit, Mozart's Figaro and Magic Flute overtures and the Star & Stripes march.

Have you ever played in one such group? Any repertoire here?

i played few years ago 8 hands-2 pianos, lucky you, i'd like to play it again. we played legendary stuff bizet-carmen, transcription for 8 hands, and debussy suite, which you could check out. carmen transcription is very effective, many glissandos and wicked passages, and was probubly the funnest piece to play
