Short piano duo for four hands

General Information

Fast moving chords grouped in short phrases give this piano duo non-stop physicality and lively muscular energy.

The four hands are ingeniously restricted to the extreme outer registers of the piano. This gives exciting clarity to the contrasting rhythmic processes between the two pianists as their music pulls brutally in and out of phase.

An example of my dance forms, this piano duo for four hands is a one mood in-your-face high energy piano duo.

Commissioned by contemporary piano duo Kate Ryder and David Appleton with funds from the and premiered at The Warehouse, Theed Street, London, UK in March 2006.
