Melody in F by Anton Rubinstein (Piano 4 hands)

Anton Rubinstein's beautiful Melody in F (op. 3 no. 1), arranged for piano four-hands (arranger unknown) and performed by The Meeks Duo. Rubinstein wrote many substantial piano works, but it is this piece that has remained most popular today.
The original piece was for solo piano and featured a melody played between alternating right and left hand thumbs, surrounded by bass and treble chords. This four-hand version puts the melody entirely in the primo part's left hand, with all chords in the primo's right hand and secondo part.
The structure is a simple AABABA-coda. We experimented with different rubato and shaping in the repeats.
Enjoy!
Scott Meek, primo
Clare Yuan, secondo

Really, such a wholesome and beautiful video. So cool how you both sway and rubato in sync.

[@TheMeeksDuo]

Thanks, Winter (is that your real name, btw?)! It’s a well written piece in its original solo format, if you’re ever interested in trying it 😄

[@WinterVT]

Winter is not my actual name, although I've gotten so used to being called it online that I sometimes freak out every time I hear "winter" in public hahaha. And thanks for the info!
