Reviews
These beautifully prepared editions of attractive and varied works will be of interest to piano duettists everywhere. They are an ideal introduction to the medium for students and worthwhile repertoire for the more seasoned pianist. This series has something for every duet player. * Piano Professional, April 2019 * This books will certainly benefit all students of grade 6 and above looking for fun repertoire to perform with friends or merely to improve sight-reading skills while playing great music. * Nadia Lasserson, Piano Professional, Spring 2011 * These make wonderful sight-reading for Grades 4 and upwards (as far as it's possible to grade anyone) and will make perfect performance pieces for friends and relatives to play together at concerts. The layout of the printing is widely spaced and distinct, the book open out well on the music stand and the page turns are thoughtfully chosen. These arrangements are sensitively harmonised with a careful ear for the original sound and are a welcome addition to the library of duet music. * Bronwen Brindley, Piano Professional Autumn 2010 * Piano Duets by Russian Composers is an unusual but enjoyable and useful collection that includes some of the most famous Russian movements and pieces from the orchestral, chamber and operatic repertoire in idiomatic, relatively easy and generally inspirational arrangements . . . The approach is always elegant, economical and sensitive in terms of pianistic layout. This makes the anthology useful to advanced players who wish to relax and have some fun, as well as to less experienced amateurs and also young, ambitious players who could well be inspired to push themselves a little bit harder in order to reach the exciting offerings that are available here. * International Piano, March 2011 *
