{"product_id":"works-for-two-pianos-2-pianos-4-hands","title":"Works for Two Pianos — 2 Pianos, 4 Hands","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe great D Major sonata for two pianos, K. 488, is – of course – the absolute showpiece of this Urtext edition. The first movement opens like an operatic overture with timpani and trumpets, the Andante is a single grand melody shared between the two pianos, and the sublime rondo finale comes across like a piano concerto without orchestra. But another important work can be found in this Henle edition too: the earnest C minor fugue for two pianos K. 426, reminiscent of Handel's or Bach's great art, here in its original form from 1783. Mozart published it soon after a four-part version for string quartet, adding a beautiful, freshly composed Adagio introduction. This, in turn, has been rescored in our edition for two pianos by the brilliant musician Franz Beyer, who also has completed a performable version of Mozart's two-piano “Larghetto and Allegro” in E flat Major (a work not included in Kochel's catalog) from the surviving fragments. Two copies are required for performance of all the works in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474048803134,"sku":"51480471","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/51480471-wl.jpg?v=1778665578","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/works-for-two-pianos-2-pianos-4-hands","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
