A good source for pianists who are looking for music originally written for one piano, four-hands.
-
Pieces are included in this source as they were originally written for one piano, four-hands. Arrangements or adaptations from other media are excluded except in rare cases where the composers themselves have made the transcriptions or where such adaptation have long been considered part of the standard four-hand repertoire.

Russian titles are transliterated. Following the title, the author lists the key signature, opus number, date of composition, place and date of publication, publisher's name, location of item if in manuscript or no longer in print, and library sigla.
