Piano duet suggestions?

[keyspam1]

Hey guys,
I'm at music camp and need a suggestion for a piano duet to do with a partner. We are both advanced pianists, but still nothing too hard because of time constraints  There are just a few requirements for a piece:

• 4 hands, 1 piano
• No Mozart!!
• Schubert fantasies, Brahms Hungarian, Petrushka, and possibly a few others are taken
• Oh, and I'm pretty sure most of the Debussy duets are also taken
• It doesn't have to be classical though, just relatively hard

There may be more, but in the meantime, any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
keyspam1

Perhaps they are not very hard, but what about Ravel's Ma mere l'Oye or Satie's 3 morceaux en forme de poire?

Best regards, Dr

Ravel, Rhapsodie Espagnole.

Mendelssohn Andante and Variations (AMAZING PIECE!  I did this for first year duet.  The last variation is pretty tough, but this piece was totally worth it.)

i don't know what you have against Mozart, so if you just don't like pretty classical music, so be it (though it does mean i can't suggest the Clementi duets which are so charming and lovely).

Perhaps some Chabrier?

Musicology:
Prélude et Marche Française, for piano 4-hands

Year: 1888
 Genre: Prelude / Fugue
 Pr. Instrument: Piano 4-Hands
 
1.Prélude
2.Marche française



or some Rchamaninov maybe? i like the whole set but you could break it up/piece it out as needed

Musicology:
6 Duets for Piano 4-Hands, Op.11

Year: 1894
 Genre: Other Keyboard
 Pr. Instrument: Piano 4-Hands
 
1.Barcarolle
2.Scherzo
3.Russian Song
4.Valse
5.Romance
6.Slava! (Glory)

This is another rarely heard collection of gems from Rachmaninov's earlier years. Although not necessarily meant to be played as a set, it can be done so with good effect. Barcarolle (Moderato) in g minor. For once Rachmaninov actually writes a Barcarolle that sounds like a Barcarolle. Swaying rhythms accompany a lyric melody that incorporates typical swirling figuration to build to a climax. Scherzo (Allegro) in D major. This is a dazzling and brilliant virtuoso work, full of wit and rhythmic excitement. Thème Russe (Andantine cantabile) in b minor. Actually, a set of connected variations on an unidentified theme. It grows in intensity and volume up to the quiet reprise of the theme, which ends the piece. Not the most effective number of the collection. Valse (Tempo di valse) in A major. Similar in style to the earlier Valse for piano six hands, this is actually a suite of several continuous Waltzes in the traditional Chopinesque style. It is rhythmic and effective, if not particularly original. Romance (Andante con anima) in c minor. This is a melodious and lyrical Nocturne in a fairly straightforward late Romantic style; it is beautiful, simple and unaffected. Slava (Allegro moderato) in C major. An impressive work based on the same Old Russian liturgical chant as Mussorgsky used in Boris Godunov. The chant is subjected to continuing variations as it builds in intensity to a thunderous climax. An imposing and epic conclusion to the set.

or Brahms Op 39 for four hands
ie var selections

[grandstaff]

Ma Mere l'Oye by Ravel is absolutely perfect (and also not that difficult at all).
