Beautiful!!

I got curious about putting two concert grands on one stage, and found this: When recording or performing in specific European halls (such as their Rachmaninoff for Two project at the Vienna Konzerthaus), they have been known to mix brands or models, with Trifonov selecting a Bösendorfer 280VC and Babayan performing on a Steinway D-274.
@ElwoodBlues We had a baby grand in the living room, and when my mother and I would play duets for two pianos, the upright piano in the family room would be rolled out. 🥹
@bijouxbroussard I'm curious about modern 88-key electronic pianos that have weighted keys and are velocity sensitive (such as Yamaha). To an experienced player like you, are they any good at all?
@ElwoodBlues I’ve only had experience with one; it wasn’t very satisfying to play, as I recall.

This piece was featured at the first classical concert I attended. 1972, Caruth Auditorium on the campus of SMU in Dallas.
