About the Composer: Dennis Alexander

Dennis Alexander

Dennis Alexander has built a four-decade career as one of the most prolific composers of educational piano music, with over 400 published works and recordings through Alfred Music Publishing. Starting his relationship with the publisher in 1986, he earned international recognition for writing accessible, engaging pieces across all student levels. A native Kansan educated at the University of Kansas, Alexander taught piano pedagogy at the University of Montana for 24 years before relocating to California, where he held faculty positions at Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge.

Beyond the studio and classroom, Alexander has maintained an active performance career as soloist, accompanist, and chamber musician, making his New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall in 1987. He has collaborated with recognized soloists and ensembles worldwide, served as a clinician at state and national music teachers conventions, and traveled extensively throughout Asia conducting master classes and performances. His work has been commissioned by numerous state music associations, and he continues to compose and present workshops from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Why we love this

Alexander's gift for writing appealing melodies shines here; the playful dialogue between the two pianos keeps both players engaged and invested in the musical conversation. The piece balances technical growth with genuine fun to play, making it ideal for intermediate ensembles that need repertoire that doesn't feel like work.

What to expect

Bright and witty, with a melody that bounces playfully between the two pianos like a musical conversation between friends. The G major tonality keeps the piece open and warm, while the cut time signature gives everything a crisp, energetic character that never feels heavy.

Who it's for

Intermediate piano students ready to explore duo playing with a peer. Works well for students preparing for festival competitions or looking to expand their ensemble experience beyond solo repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melodic line as it passes between pianos, giving each player a moment to bring out the tune while the other provides musical support.
  • Keep the cut time feel light and flowing; resist the urge to rush, and let the playful character emerge naturally from steady phrasing rather than anxious tempo.
  • Work balance and communication in rehearsal before polishing dynamics; both players need to track where the melody lives so the conversation feels intentional, not accidental.
  • Coordinate carefully at dynamic shifts and section changes so transitions feel seamless when performed.

How to use it

Pair this with other accessible duet literature on a student recital, or feature it as an intermission selection on a larger concert. Its upbeat nature and manageable technical demands make it perfect for spring festivals and competitions, and the included Federation Festivals selection designation means it's competition-ready.

Skills your students will build

  • Melodic phrasing and balancing melody against accompaniment in a two-piano setting
  • Cut time reading and maintaining rhythmic clarity in a faster harmonic rhythm
  • Ensemble awareness and listening skills; tracking the other player's part while maintaining your own line
  • Coordination of entrances, dynamic changes, and phrase endings between two independent performers
