Review (PDF) Complete Piano Works For Four Hands (Dover Music For Piano)
This volume is the definitive playing edition of Brahms's complete works for four-hand piano, containing 81 compositions in all. These include the Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 23; the delightful Waltzes, Op. 39; the Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52a; Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 65a; and the 21 Hungarian Dances.Reprinted from the Complete Works edition of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna, 1927, this edition was edited by Eusebius Mandyczewski, whose Preface, providing notes on manuscript sources and variants, appears here both in the original German and in a new English translation.Note heads are large and this is a very readable edition. Concert pianists, students, and teachers will find this excellent four-hand piano music, until now virtually unavailable in sheet music, a valuable addition to their playing library.

I use this book regularly. The duets run the range of easier to more difficult. It would take several years to work your way through the whole book. Printed clearly, with a good binding.
Awesome pieces. Great fun for two pianists!!
