These duos are drawn from Sibelius’ sets of character pieces for piano, and are close adaptations of their two voice-based originals. They are perfectly suited for recitals, professors playing with their students, and music making among friends - both substantive and approachable. They also provide insight into the character of one of the great orchestral composers and champions of our instrument. 

The set includes:

Marche triste, JS 124

Valse, op. 34 No. 1

Humoristicher Marche, op. 97 No. 4

Der Hirt (The Shepherd), op. 58 No. 4

Air de danse, op. 34 No. 2
