For 4 Hands

Barbara Heller's collection 'For 4 Hands' contains short pieces for piano duet. The entertaining little pieces were created in Munich in 1962 during her time as teacher at the Youth Music School. The cycle offers numerous opportunities to work on the subtleties of dynamics and articulation with second-year pupils, and for first experiences in ensemble playing. The primo and secondo parts correspond to the same level of difficulty. 'For 4 Hands' is therefore also suitable for group lessons. Both parts play the catchy tunes alternately and are therefore equally enjoyable to practise. From cheerful via pensive, sad, swinging and wild to dance-like, the concise little pieces provide the opportunity for many different types of expression. An entertaining musical experience for two piano players.
