2 жыл бұрынPlaying both parts of a two-piano arrangement of some highly syncopated Afro-Cuban bebop music? What could possibly go wrong?!
Yes, this is my attempt at performing Kapustin's lively "Paraphrase on Dizzy Gillespie's Manteca" for two pianos. I don't know what possessed me to take on the challenge, but ever since I first heard the piece I knew I had to at least try.
I hope this video brings a modicum of enjoyment to some listeners out there!

A friend and I played this for our music GCSE, as an ensemble piece or duet was required - we got full marks cause it was so fun to practice that we'd spend hours every day practicing together. My focus and attention span are awful so it really shows just how fun this piece is that it kept me focused for so long

Wow, congratulations! It really is a fun piece to play so I'm not surprised to hear your account! I remember having to do that part of GCSE as well. Me and a friend played Ravel's "Laideronnette, Impératrice des Pagodes" for piano duet...which is absolute PEANUTS compared to this.

@@tomekkobialka The Ravel is also a fun duet, but I've never had as much fun practicing as I did with this. Yeah it's pretty hard, especially with synchronisation of some of the syncopated hits and the triplet arpeggio things before the recap - but we eventually managed to get through it with time and sheer determination, which goes to show where there's a will, there's a way

And huge props to you - I can't imagine how infuriating it must have been trying to get this perfectly synched up

The sheet music is now out of print, is there any way to access it?
