Quattro Mani consists of pianists Susan Grace and Alice Rybak.  The group
was formed 10 years ago and has gained international recognition with
performances in Spain, Korea and many cities in the U.S.  In January 2001,
Quattro Mani made its New York debut in Carnegie Recital Hall to a sold-out
house and was immediately re-engaged for the 2001-2002 season.  They have
recorded Haskell Small's "A Game of Go" for Klavier Music Productions.

"A Game of Go" is based on the ancient Japanese board game, in particular
game six of a famous 30-game match played between Shusaku and Yuzo in
1853.  As a composer, Haskell Small has received commissions from such
organizations as the Washington Performing Arts Society, the Georgetown
Symphony and Paul Hill Chorale.  He was the 1999 winner of the Marin
Ballet Dance Score Competition.  He is currently composer in residence
with Virginia's Mount Vernon Symphony.  Mr.  Small, who studied piano
with Leon Fleisher and William Masselos, is on the faculty of the
Washington Conservatory.  He recently presented the London and Paris
premieres of his "Symphony for Solo Piano".  Read more about him at his
website - http://www.jamesarts.com/h-small/.
