Arensky: Suite No. 1, Op. 15

For Two Pianos, Four Hands

By Anton Arensky / ed. Lucy Mauro and Scott Beard

Composed between 1885 and 1888, this suite for two pianos contains three movements that are typical of the 19th-century character piece. The parts for each piano are equal in technical difficulty and melodic material. The second movement, "Valse," is one of Arensky's best-known works. Two copies are required for performance.
