More about this title

About the Composer: Martha Mier

Martha Mier has shaped music education for decades through her prolific output of piano repertoire that students actually want to play. Since joining Alfred Music in 1989, she has established herself as a composer who understands the pedagogical moment: what challenges students appropriately without overwhelming them, and what captures their imagination musically.

A Florida State University graduate and longtime piano studio owner, Mier brings classroom experience to every score she writes. Her clinician work across Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the United States, combined with her state and national certifications through MTNA, the National Guild of Piano Teachers, and other professional organizations, keeps her connected to the real needs of teachers and students. Her publications span more than 200 titles, including the widely adopted Premier Piano Course series and popular collections like Jazz, Rags & Blues and Romantic Impressions.

Why we love this

Mier writes duet music that actually sounds like music rather than a technical exercise for two people. Both pianists get memorable melodic material and rhythmic engagement, which means your students stay invested throughout the piece rather than one person functioning as accompanist. The festive, dance-like character gives you a genuine crowd-pleaser that works equally well in a formal festival setting (it's a Federation Festivals selection) or a casual student recital.

What to expect

Fast, bright, and impossible to sit still through. The 3/4 meter dances rather than lilts, and the rhythmic momentum carries both players forward through what feels like a joyful romp across the keyboard. Expect enthusiastic applause.

Who it's for

Two intermediate pianists at similar technical levels who are ready to navigate a full-length duet without one part being significantly easier. This works beautifully for partnership playing, festival preparation, or building collaboration skills between advancing students.

How to get the most out of it

Establish a clear pulse in 3/4 from the start. This piece thrives on rhythmic precision and infectious energy, so lock the tempo together before measure one.
Balance the melodic lines between the two pianos rather than letting one player dominate. Both artists should listen actively to each other's phrasing.
Lean into the dance character with slightly pointed articulation in rhythmic passages. The piece breathes like a celebration, not a strict academic exercise.

How to use it

Save this for a moment when you need to shift energy and lighten the mood. It pairs well after a substantial solo or as a closing piece in a recital, where its infectious rhythm sends the audience out smiling. Festival competition is also ideal; Mier's careful pacing and accessible difficulty level let students focus on musical performance rather than survival.
