NFMC: Moderately Difficult III Class Piano Duet - Fugue on a Russian Theme, Op. 34, No. 6 (Arensky)
NFMC: Difficult II Class Piano Duet - Chaminade: Rigadoun, Op.55, No.6

The variety of styles and periods represented in this collection make it an especially exciting and well-rounded choice for early advanced students!

Included in this impressive line-up are the more "traditional" favorites of Chopin’s Funeral March, Clementi’s Rondo Op. 41, and Schubert’s Polonaise Op. 75, as well as 19th and 20th Century selections by Arensky, Chaminade, Moszkowski, and Respighi. The most unique inclusions in this collection, however, are the arrangements of two incredibly beautiful pieces by noteworthy (and still-living!) composer Karel Husa, whose String Quartet No. 3 won the 1969 Pulitzer Prize.
