The Faber Music Piano Duets Anthology is a must-have collection of traditional favourites and appealing new arrangements for piano duet (1 piano, 4 hands). Arranged in progressive order, it includes classic duet repertoire from Fauré, Schubert and Debussy as well as lesser-known gems from Chaminade, Ligeti, Phoria and many more. Beautifully presented as a sewn-bound book with cover artwork by LS Lowry, it is ideal for intermediate duet enthusiasts with some offerings for late elementary and early advanced pianists too.
"If you've reached around Grade 4 level and you're new to playing piano duets, then this book is a great place to start. If you're a veteran player of piano duets, then amongst the old favourites, there is still plenty here to delight and explore. Fabulous value, clearly presented [...] Another brilliant volume in this ever-expanding series from Faber Music." David Barton, March 2025
