DUET "Beggin' " by MåneskinIntermediate level duet (4 Hands, 1 Piano) arrangement of the 2021 Måneskin cover of "Beggin." SECONDO has rhythmic groove, with clear articulation, throughout the song. PRIMO melody starts simply and fills in chords as the song progresses. Lovely arpeggiated bridge section provides contrast to the driving rock beat.
DUET "Don't Lose Sight" by LawrenceLate Intermediate equal parts duet arrangement of "Don't Lose Sight," a 2021 release by the group Lawrence. Heavy on the gospel, the thick chords are voiced across three hands. Intro is slower and selective with chords in straight rhythm, at pre-chorus the syncopation kicks in and the fun begins! Bridge infuses a feature from the band's acoustic YouTube version by stacking/adding chord tones one at a time until nearly the entire keyboard is used.
DUET "Glimpse of Us" by JojiLate Intermediate equal part duet arrangement of 2021 Joji release in original key. Intro and verse 1 are set simply and true to artist's recording. Verse 2 and final chorus are very classical featuring arpeggios and scales in the accompaniment with melody weaving between the hands.
