Piano Ensemble is a class for advanced pianists in which they are placed in pairs for the duration of the semester. These partners then study and perform works from the vast array of music written originally for two pianists at either one piano (duet) or two pians (dou). It is during the regular coaching sessions of each duet and duo that the following areas are explored: rehearsal techniques, stylistic awareness, and performance participation. Each semester culminates in a public recital.
