French composer, Georges Auric (1899-1983) was a member of Les Six. His compositional career was mainly distinguished by his film music. However, his catalogue is varied and 5 Bagatelles is a delightful collection of Four Hand Piano Duets. The Five Bagatelles are; 1) Overture, 2) Little March, 3) Waltz, 4) Dream, and 5) Retreat. Suitable for intermediate level pianists, Auric's compositions tend to reflect the current music scene in Paris at the time. For all intermediate pianists seeking exciting duet music, Auric's 5 Bagatelles provide just that..

Liszt was inspired, mainly under the influence of Berlioz's Faust compositions, by the Faust, and much later by the Mephisto themes to write several works. In the first period between 1856-62 he wrote the Faust Symphony and Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust which included Night march and Dance in the village tavern - the latter being also entitled First Mephisto Waltz - these for orchestra, along with versions for piano two and four hands, and for two pianos written simultaneously. The rest of the Mephisto compositions are all late works from between 1880-85: 2nd Mephisto Waltz 1880-1881, 3rd Mephisto Waltz and Mephisto polka 1883, 4th Mephisto Waltz 1885, 5th Mephisto Waltz,subtitled Bagatelle sans tonalité, probably also 1885. The five Mephisto Waltzes and the Mephisto Polka are now published by EMB in one volume (the first such selection world-wide!), as separate edition of the New Liszt Edition, where they appeared in a both critical and practical edition between 1982-84.This publication is printed on high quality, durable paper made from renewable raw materials in an environmentally friendly way.
