Overview

"Music that showcases the utter joyousness of four-hand piano playing. This arrangement of Bach's third Brandenburg concerto features a labyrinth of choreographed hand crossings designed to serve two purposes: to bring the conversational, antiphonal spirit of the nine-voiced original to life and to equitably distribute the virtuosic passagework between the two performers. Anderson closely adheres to the source material in the first and third movements while still managing to recast the work in an eminently pianistic manner. Anderson offers a newly composed ""improvisation"" to serve as the work's second movement. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach (1756-1791). Arranged and adapted for piano, four hands by Greg Anderson (b. 1981). Advanced. 34 pages. Published by Awkward Fermata Press."

For nearly two decades, Greg has performed in collaboration with Elizabeth Joy Roe as the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo, noted as the most dynamic duo of this generation (San Francisco Classical Voice) and the very model of complete 21st-century musicians (The Washington Post).

Their five critically acclaimed albums have spent dozens of weeks at the top of the Billboard Classical Charts, while their Emmy-nominated, self-produced music videos have been viewed by millions on YouTube and at international film festivals. They have presented at numerous leader symposiums and hosted NPR's From the Top and medici.tv's webcast of the Cliburn International Piano Competition. Greg's compositions and arrangements have been performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Rose Bowl, and Beijing's National Center for the Performing Arts and have appeared on the Universal, Sony, and EMI record labels. His works are published by Alfred Music on the Anderson & Roe Duos & Duets Series and by Awkward Fermata Press.
