Good Piano Duet

Hi guys, me and my friend decided to do a Piano duet for school.
Right now, I'm looking for a good Piano duet that is not too difficult and a great piece to play.
I have never played Piano duet before
What pieces do you recommend?

 

It should not have to be too easy, seeing as you play the Chopin Op.23 !
You can consider:

Debussy - Petite Suite
Faure - Dolly Suite
Satie - 3 Pieces in the shape of a pear
Dvorak - Slavonic Dances
Brahms - Hungarian Dances
Schubert - Military Marches

etc.... there is a lot of good piano duet stuff around. Great fun to do :!:

 

HI, I was wondering of a short duet piece.
Because me and my friend is playing this for music test thats coming up.
Something thats less than 3 minute.
Thanks for your help.

 

Serendae

Schubert's Serenade is great and easy.

 

Ligeti - 3 Hungarian wedding dances, Sonatina, Allegro [4 hands]

 

Would you want a 2-piano piece or 1piano but for four hands? There is a difference. I have about 40 scores (from dances, to sonatas, to virtuoso concertos, and everything in between). By telling me what you are interested in, it will enable for me to write down all what I have in that particular catagorey

(I hope I made sense)

 

One piano, but for four hands.
Thanks

*******************************************

My suggestion is Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, or Satie (but Satie is rather "dry")

Take a look at the above and PM me with your email address if you choose to want one of them. But please don't ask for 50 files because it is a pain to email them :?

 

hey thanks so much.
Would you known where I can get the sheet music.
I don't think i found one in this site.

I would recommend a piece by Schubert or something thats really short.
Thanks again.

 

What I listed is what I have on CD.

Schubert- if you are looking for a short piece, then I suggest the "Children's march in G" it's only 2 pages long. Or you can play 4 Landler D.814--this if four pages long, each lander is about 1/2 page, with repeats, so it is not as short as the March in G.

If those are too short then I have a 52 page piece by Schubert, if you really want it :wink:

 

Hey, Schuberts Children's March in G would be fine.
The reason why I'm asking for a really short piece because the music assessment which me and my friend is taking has to be less than 3 minutes.
Thanks so much for your help

 

Here is the March.

 

Will you have a means to record the duet? I would like to hear it.

 

Hey, thanks so much for your help.
Sure, I'll record the duet if you like.
