The tradition of home music-making dates back therefore to the middle of the 18th century, with piano-playing for four hands very soon becoming it's all important element. This gave rise to the development of a repertoire that lent itself to arrangement and performances in such a chamber environment. Compositions of this type had already been penned by Johann Christian Bach, Joseph Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. By the end of the 18th century, compositions for piano four hands had achieved extraordinary popularity. However, only a small amount of the output by Polish composers was published. Thanks to the interest of present-day Polish publishers these forgotten pieces, several of which are presented here, can now be enjoyed by performers and enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand Valse In F Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariations On A Theme Of Moore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndante Con Variazioni, Op. 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivertissement \u0026amp;Agrave; La Polonaise, Op. 12: I.
