FOUR HAND PIANO
FOUR HAND PIANO
Two Sonata Duets with Violin Obbligato for Piano or Harpsichord Four-Hands,
Maria Cosway, Vivace Press, 2004
Maria Cosway (1759-1838) was a cultured and inter-disciplinary woman who kept a popular salon. She was a composer, painter and keyboard artist and had a long relationship and correspondence with Thomas Jefferson. These two-movement sonatas can be performed by two harps, harpsichords, piano-fortes or organs or any combination of the above. These pieces are truly duets and not merely melody and accompaniment.

Favorite Duett and God Save the King for Piano or Harpsichord Four-Hands, Jane Savage, Vivace press, 2004
Jane Savage (fl. 1780-1790) wrote during the transition from the harpsichord to the pianoforte. She had a superb sense of what made appealing and popular galant style keyboard music as well as a complete grasp of the harmonic and counterpoint practices of the time period. A Favorite Duett contains three charming movements for four hands and God Save the King is our familiar My Country Tis of Thee.
