Re: Grainger
Does anyone have any piano duet (i.e. 1 piano, 4 hands) pieces by Grainger? There aren't as many as the piano duo pieces (which are very numerous) but I still think there are a few. Many thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm probably being a bit naughty in putting this one up, but as an exampleisokani wrote:Does anyone have any piano duet (i.e. 1 piano, 4 hands) pieces by Grainger?

Grainger apparently did not write for 1p4h, but this is an interesting example, as he writes, of a piece set for one piano twosome. Regards

Re: Grainger
Well thank you Fred. I know there are his own versions of Children's March and Walking Tune (in extended versions ...) and there are a few more things I will get from Bardic Edition, including a version of the Lonely Desert Man Sees the Tents of the Happy Tribes, which I bought in Blackwell's, Oxford.
Re: Grainger
If I may interject, I have a very old tattered photocopy... yes, that old, photocopy of the "Children March, Over the Hills and Faraway" for 2 pianos, 4 hands. It is a sensational piece of music, a real crowd pleaser. Had much success playing it. Too bad my copy is now so old it is failing... Oberon

Re: Grainger
Yes, I was wrong about the Children's March. He didn't do a duet version, but a 2pf one.

Re: Grainger
Warning:
Please can I alert members to be very cautious with posting any scores by Grainger.
Grainger died in 1961 and as such, his works will be within copyright. I do not mind the odd posting of a score, so long as that score is clearly no longer available in print [but please check thoroughly that the score is not in publication]. In the main I suspect most of his works remain in current circulation and hence not suitable to be posted on Pianophilia.
Thank you.
Malcolm

Re: Grainger
Three new Grainger scans have appeared on IMSLP-- the solo piano arrangement of Harvest Hymn and two more of the British Folk-Music Settings: "Scotch Strathspey and Reel" and "The Merry King."
