Description
This collection of piano duets features brilliant arrangements from Constant Lambert's orchestral suite. The music is beautifully crafted for two pianists to perform together.
The composer behind this work, Sir William Walton, was a renowned musician and composer in his own right. He began composing at the age of 16 and went on to write numerous film and ballet scores during World War II.
Constant Lambert, who arranged the suite, was also an accomplished composer and conductor. His music often incorporated elements of jazz, and he was a prominent figure in the ballet world before his untimely death at the age of 45.
