"Played percussively, the piano is a bore. If I go to a concert and someone plays like that I have two choices; go home or go to sleep. The goal is to make the piano sing, sing, sing." Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989)
FOUR HANDS ON ONE PIANO
Pep up your entertainment with some piano duets and you'll have something different for your event.
My duet partner is an old classmate, Beryl Shepherd (Wynne). A chance meeting at a school reunion a few years ago led to our renewal of friendship and duet partnership. Beryl is a professional accompanist, piano and singing teacher. A special performance was a personal one when we were invited to duet at our old school, Whitefield Stand Grammar School for Girls at their 70th anniversary celebration and again at the 2010 reunion. We included compositions by Brahms, Grieg, Strauss and Tchaikovsky.
