Royal Conservatoire of Scotland - Library Treasures
The Whittaker Library has a huge collection of piano duet music, for two pianists at one piano, or at two pianos.
Take a look at what we've got - it's really quite something. Piano duet competitions are perhaps not as common these days as they used to be, which is a shame. Perhaps it's partly because more people played piano duets when recorded music wasn't as readily available. Playing a piano reduction of an orchestral piece gave you the chance to hear it for yourself, and in a way, to get inside the workings of the composition.
Piano concertos in two-piano reductions are still a useful way to practice in the early stages of learning new repertoire, too.
So come on, piano duos - what are you waiting for?
