I came across this piano duet in search of some fun music. It’s also been arranged for orchestra and organ. It works best on two pianos, but adjustments can be made to play it on just one piano. My favorite arrangement of this is the Busoni version. There’s a lot of focus on the harmonic outline of the E flat major scale, and the form follows closely to that of Sonata form. Overall the character of this duet is what you would expect from Mozart. Like most piano duo works, the melody will sometimes swap between the pianists. This is the main melody and will continue returning throughout the piece. While that’s going on the other pianist is supporting with a countermelody. After about a minute and a half, the familiar sixteenth note passages with the repeated E flats and short turns occur. The piece starts with big chords played by both pianists in E flat.Īfter a few chords the mood changes to more of a melodic sequence supported by chords. This piece is known for its strong overture movement. This means you’ll play an octave, then a 6th, then a 5th, and then repeat.īelow is a video of how the whole piano duet works!įor more advanced pianists, Mozart’s Magic Flute Duet is a real test of partnership. From here the hands work there way back inwards in contrary motion. Play another six beats and then stretch out to make a sixth playing D and B.įinally, we have an octave where both C’s are played. This forms an interval of a second.Īfter playing those notes together for six beats, you stretch out to make an interval of a third with notes G and E. It starts off with two white notes right next to each other on the piano. To play Chopsticks, its good to have an idea of how intervals work on the piano.
In this case, use the pointer fingers (often referred to as finger number 2). It’s a fun tune that can be done with a partner and only requires one finger from each of your hands to play. If you’re looking for more starter piano pieces like this one, read this post. That piece is called Chopsticks, and it’s one of the simplest piano duets you can play.
