Goldberg Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Ok, so I'm looking to buy the piano manuscript for a concerto. After looking quickly at the back of one of my books (where it lists other works you can buy from the publisher), I have to ask what it means when it says ____concerto in____-"2 piano score". Laugh if you must, but...is that what I need? What is it exactly? "Bach is ever new"-Glenn Gould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 The score of a piano concerto can be written in 3 ways: 1. piano and the orchestra parts printed on the same page. 2. Piano and orchestra parts printed separately. 3. Piano and orchestra part written for 2nd piano. This one is usually used for rehearsals with teachers or 2 pianists. Hope this helps.

mte Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 yup..dunno what concerto that is, but there are some things written for 2 pianos, not really piano+orchestra so it might be not just for rehearsals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think there is a piece for 8(!) pianos! Don't remember who's the author though... I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldberg Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Well, to rid you of any curiosity, the concerto I'm buying is the Grieg a minor. However, looking in the back of the book I was talking about, ALL of concertoes have the "two piano score" thing written by them, so I had to assume that was pretty normal. I was just making sure though... "Bach is ever new"-Glenn Gould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
