Music for Two Pianos

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Max Reger & Ferruccio Busoni & András Schiff & Peter Serkin

Music for Two Pianos refers to a set of works for two pianos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, chiefly represented by the Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K.448, composed in 1781. The music is rooted in the Classical style with balanced, conversational interplay between the two instruments, featuring clear textures, melodic clarity and contrapuntal passages that have made it central to the two-piano repertoire.
