Piano Sketches Duets 2 is a fantastic collection of new pieces for exploring the art of duet playing. Suitable for students working at the 'easy' or 'intermediate' technical level, the book features a range of appealing and accessible styles, from the evocative 'Autumn in Paris' to the spirited 'Tarantella' and Bach-pastiche 'Rumba for Johann'. As well as being great fun to play, these pieces offer pianists an adventure in texture, melody, and harmony, and will help to develop good ensemble playing.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The pieces themselves offer, once again, refreshing variety and contrast, each book featuring a range of appealing and accessible styles. With these pieces Neugasimov proves that the brilliance of the original collections was not a one-hit aflash in the pana, but that he is an educational composer of enduring ability and integrity. The balance of interest between the two players is maintained in all the pieces, and they come as a breath of fresh air to reinvigorate the duet repertoire at intermediate level . . . Overall, then, my verdict is clear a OUP have another winner on their hands! Piano Sketches and Piano Sketches Duets between them provide a rich and varied selection of contemporary music that intermediate students will very likely find appealing and fun to play, while developing sound technical skills, a more alert sense of style, and in the case of the Duet books, enjoyment playing with others. * pianodao.com, May 2018 *
