Altmann, Wilhelm, comp. Verzeichnis von Werken für Klavier vier- und sechshändig sowie für zwei und mehr Klaviere. Leipzig: Verlag von Friedrich Hofmeister, 1943.
-
An index to discovering and reviving many great piano works for multiple hands and multiple pianos, many of which have been unfairly forgotten.
-
Includes an international array of piano works for four and six hands and two or more pianos, not only those of German origin. Only a selection of works as deemed of high musical quality by the compiler is included, although the works for four hands (for both one and two pianos) are fairly complete. All works which are included have been published, although some may be out of print.
-
The index is organized into six primary sections: piano music for four hands/one piano, piano music for four hands/one piano and other instruments, piano music for six hands/one piano, piano music for four hands/two pianos, piano music for eight hands/two pianos, and piano music for 3 or more pianos. Each of these sections is subdivided into original and arranged works, and then into specific types of pieces which vary. Entries are listed alphabetically by composer within each section and include title, publisher, and year of publication (with the exception of most pieces published more than 100 years ago for which no dates can be found). Publishers are listed under their newest names. An index of composers is provided at the end, which (because of the laws at the time of publication) indicates which composers were of Jewish faith.
