Suggestions for a piano duo piece
on: July 19, 2012, 08:03:58 AM
I'm trying to look for a piano duo piece for my friend and I this fall semester. She always wanted to play a duo and we're both actually surprised we never did.
She can barely reach an octave, and I can barely reach a ninth.
We're both looking for pieces that are not too technically demanding as we just want to play something fun.
She suggested playing Libertango... but nooooo.
Anyone have suggestions on something catchy and fun?!
The last duo I played with a friend was Poulenc's Capriccio and that was VERY VERY FUN.
So yeah, please put any suggestions if you have any!
Thanks ahead of time

fanboy moment.
i just double checked my book/score, textue is really simple, but you get a 'big sound', fun piece.
the other duet from the book is cool too but a bit faster

If it's for one piano, check out some of the arrangements from Dvorak's Slavonic Dances. I've done some of them and they are very fun. I've also done some two hand, one piano stuff from Schumann's Kinderscezen which was nice and very simple. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, try Petrushka which is very difficult, but fun if you can get it up. For two piano stuff, try Debussy's En Blanc et Noir and Lindaraja.
