Duo Petrof plays Ant. Petrof

While it is true that the piano has enjoyed a relevant place among keyboard instruments thanks to its sound and expressive capacities, the piano duo allows exploring with a greater intensity the wide range of resources of the pianistic language. Even though the production of works for piano solo (two hands) is overwhelmingly more abundant, from the earliest ages of this instrument there were pieces composed involving more than one performer.

Therefore, the piano duet nourishes on both original repertoire and arrangements of works from other genres. Thus, the transcription for piano duo is profiled as a work of supreme musical refinement that requires, in addition, a deep knowledge of the particularities of the ensemble.
