Historical context

Happy Dog Duo will be playing combination of classics, rare gems, and originals for two pianos from memory. Rachmaninoff and Ravel are among the greatest contributors of the duo piano literature, bringing out about the full range and orchestral colors two pianos can offer. We'll also feature Rzewski's devastating Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, a work often performed on one piano but was also arranged for two pianos by the composer, amplifying the portrayal of hellish machinery.
