Book excerpt: This book is a trusted guide to nearly 3,200 works specifically written for four-hand performance, by 1,700 composers writing between 1760 and 1980. Entries are arranged alphabetically by composer--from Abeille to Zutphen, with many more-familiar names in between. One appendix lists anthologies and collections of four-hand music, with their contents; a second is an index to the piano duets with voice(s) or other instrument(s) described in the main listing. Piano teachers will appreciate the annotations, the grade-level indications, and the wealth of instructional guidance included, as well as the list of music publishers and their addresses, which has been updated for this reprint edition.
