Is that you on the left awesome_o? If so, the playing is terrible as usual and we are all so very glad you are picking up the cello instead.

If it's not you, that's some beautiful playing!!!! And thanks for introducing me for this very beautiful piece. I have never heard of it before so now I will obsess and listen like 100 times until I get sick of it and move on with my life.

I confess it wasn't our finest playing ;)

Soon we will record duets professionally for a new CD!

We were thinking the full Mozart 40th Symphony, this piece, the Moldau by Smetana, and some Slavonic Dances by Dvorak!

Firstly: I'm amazed that you can play in a duet, I absolutely lack that ability at this point in time.

Secondly: the piece sounds very nice. :)

@ awesome_o,
you and your partner should consider playing lever du jour from Daphnis et chloe. That piece is a beast of a duet and really suits the sparkling tone of the piano!!!

Are you sure that it is a Four Hands arrangement?

There's a Two Piano arrangement of Daphnis and Chloe that we're interested in doing, but I've never heard of a duet arrangement.

Well, on imslp there is a 4 hands version by leon roques, but obviously the 2 piano arrangement sounds much more larger than life, especially the one by Gryaznov.
