E-Book Overview
Now in paperback!Music for More than One Piano An Annotated GuideMaurice HinsonWhen one piano is simply not enough."Maurice Hinson's [Music for More than One Piano] ought not only to stand in the bookshelf for reference, but as a true dictionary in the best sense, it should mainly be read for pleasure and enlightenment." -- Konrad WolffIn an alphabetic listing by composer, this guide describes works for two or more keyboard instruments composed mainly since 1700. The range of combinations is considerable: works for two, three, four, or more pianos; for two or more pianos with other instruments, voice, or tape; for piano and harpsichord; for two player pianos; and for two pianos tuned a quarter-tone apart. There are compositions to be performed on two pianos by one, two, three, and four players, as well as one work for two players, two left hands.Maurice Hinson's remarks about the style, the performance problems, and the history of specific pieces are, as ever, insightful and delightful.
