Piano four hands is a term frequently applied in American usage to a specific form of piano duet, for a single piano with two players.[1] A duet with the players playing separate instruments is generally referred to as a piano duo.[2]
Notable compositions for piano four hands include 16 Waltzes, Op 39 by Brahms and the Dolly Suite by Fauré. Schubert was also a prolific composer of works for piano four hands.
