What we are playing |
|
|
|
|

The editors of this site are playing now:
Grieg, Peer Gynt (quatre mains).
Poulenc, l'Èmbarquement pour Cythère (two pianos).
Jim Croce, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown (two pianos).
Dvorak, Slavonic Dance opus 46 in G minor (quatre mains).
Full of power. Nice to listen to, but even nicer to play, is our experience.
Satie, 3 Morceaux en forme de Poire (quatre mains).
Debussy told Satie: 'Your compositions need some form'. Always fond of an ironical joke, Satie composed a suite in the form of a 'Poire'. Not three pieces - as the title suggests - but seven. |
