Music for More than One Piano
An Annotated Guide
Maurice Hinson
When 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 Wolff
In 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. A treasure map for teachers, students,
and performers
