And yet seem to have avoided much of the 4-hand literature:  AFAIK they
have not recorded, to pick a few examples, and someone will tell me if I'm
wrong, Schubert'4 4-hand music (of which there is enough to fill 7 CDs much
of it great music, little known), Beethoven's Op.134 - the 4-hand Grose
Fugue, Brahm's 4-hand version of the St. Anthony Variations, his 2 piano
versions of all four symphonies, Debussy's 2 piano arrangement of La
Mer....

And then there's the *obscure* stuff...:-)
