PENELOPE THWAITES - GRAINGER - MUSIC FOUR HANDS

The music of Percy Grainger (1882-1961) for piano/s four hands ranges from a few intimate duets to a significant body of quasi-orchestral concert works. The great majority were written for two instruments and they exploit this rich resource to the full. Given that almost all were originally works for chamber, orchestral, wind-band or choral forces, pianists have the widest possible range of sound references.
