Page vii PREFACE This survey and catalogue of music for three or more pianists evolved from my experience as founder, performer, librarian, repetiteur, producer and director of PIANoRAMA, an ensemble consisting of four pianos that was created for Edmonton's 1989 summer Fringe festival. Initially this ever-increasing involvement with repertoire for four pianists commenced with Gustav Martin Schmidt's transcription of Beethoven's Septet, Op. 20, for eight hands at two pianos (discovered in a second-hand music store in Bloomington, Indiana in July of 1983). The existing published sources were eventually examined: Frederic Chang and Albert Faurot's Team-Piano Repertoire: A Manual of Music for Multiple Players at One or More Pianos (1976); The Pianist's Resource Guide, 1978-79: Piano Music in Print and Literature on the Pianistic Art [by] Joseph Rezits and Gerald Deatsman; and Maurice Hinson's The Piano in Chamber Ensemble (1978), Music for More Than One Piano (1983) and The Pianists' Guide to Transcriptions, Arrangements and Paraphrases (1990). Although these recent bibliographies were beneficial, they are by no means complete or comprehensive. Noteworthy compositions such as Igor Stravinsky's Les noces, Antheil's Ballet mcanique and Orff's three cantatas Veni Creator Spiritus, Der gute Mensch
