Piano Duet Repertoire
Music Originally Written for One Piano, Four Hands

Cameron McGraw

A classic reference—to share with a friend.

"[F]or those who love the medium [this] is sure to be a kind of wish-book, making one say, 'I want to see that one!'" —Notes

"Excellent reference for teachers and performers alike...." —Choice

Piano Duet Repertoire is a trusted guide to nearly 3,200 works specifically written for four-hand performance—by 1,700 composers writing between 1760 and 1980. Entries are arranged alphabetically by composer—from Abeille to Zutphen, with many more-familiar names in between.

One appendix lists anthologies and collections of four-hand music, with their contents; a second is an index to the piano duets with voice(s) or other instrument(s) described in the main listing. Piano teachers will appreciate the annotations, the grade-level indications, and the wealth of instructional guidance included, as well as the list of music publishers and their addresses, which has been updated for this reprint edition.

Cameron McGraw (1919–1995) was a composer and co-director of the Jenkintown Music School. His articles appeared in Piano Quarterly and Clavier, and he edited the anthology Four Centuries of Keyboard Music.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of knowledge for those involved in the duet genre, December 7, 2002
By 
PianoMom (New York, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Piano Duet Repertoire: Music Originally Written for One Piano, Four Hands (Paperback)
Hundreds of composers and what seems to be over a thousand works, most of them obscure. It is a wonderful little handbook which, whenever possible, states also the duration of pieces, publisher, style, difficulty, and any other information you may need to locate the score. There are some major works missing from it, for example George Crumb's Celestial Mechanics, Yvar Mikhashof's arrangement of Conlon Nancarrow's Sonatina, Ravel's Rhapsodie Espagnole or Lucien Garban's arrangement of his La Valse, Stravinsky's Petroushka or The Rite of Spring (both composed first for this medium and later orchestrated by the composer), John Corigliano's Gazebo Dances. And these are the ones I am aware of, who knows how many others have been overlooked. Nevertheless you have 312 solid pages of works for one piano four hands (not two pianos!) from A-Z. A must for any duo pianist out there.
