well-tempered Duets

The pieces in F major can be played simultaneously with their counterparts in Bb major as piano duets (1 piano - 4 hands).

Michelle says:

“I have long been struck by some similarities between baroque music and jazz. Also I love and admire the music of JS Bach.

So, I set out to explore the possibilities of say a rag-time fugue, or a passacaglia in blue. What would happen if you could combine a toccata with a 12-bar blues, for example?”

This is a set of pieces conjuring up scenes from childhood: playtime, the garden, pets, Christmas, and the dreaded bed-time.
