This is fascinating. Are the parts available? It also say Nonet, but there are only 8 parts and it doesn't say Dancer anywhere. Can you tell us more about this piece? Thanks very much for this posting.

Sorry, I don't have parts of this piece.

Anyway, According to Larry Sitsky's Book,
The role of the mime is the ninth. but there is no mention of a mime artist in the score, and therefore no clue as to the sort movements that were required.

Thanks for the information. I'd like to perform this work sometime.

[soh choon wee]

Does anyone know of any ensemble music involving 2 pianos or 1-piano-4-hands with whatever (strings, winds)
Preferably 19c or 20c, romantics, late romantics, or early 20c....

not Bartok 2-pianos and percussions....

Thanks

This is probably more than you want, but since I have PDFs of the reference books...

If it was me, I might look at these first:
- Brahms - Liebeslieder Waltzes - 1 piano 4 hands + vocalists
- Saint-Saëns - Carnival of the Animals - 2 pianos and misc strings/woodwinds
- Bach concerti for 2 keyboards - just add a variable number of string players
- Claude Bolling (classical/jazz hybrid) Sonata #2 - for 2 pianos with percussion and double bass

There's this list from Hinson's "Music for More Than One Piano - an annotated guide":
