Bizjak Piano Duo — Repertoire for Two Pianos and for Piano Four-Hands
The story of our duo is not the most typical — even though we are sisters, a significant age difference did not allow us to sight-read the scores in slippers in our living room in Belgrade! The duo was “imposed” on us after our respective piano studies at the Paris Conservatory. Sanja was 15, and I was 27. The Odyssey, therefore, begins in 2002, when the Belgrade Philharmonic invites us to play Mendelssohn’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E Major. Before that, we played very rarely together, only to close shared recitals. I remember discovering Schubert’s delicious Rondo in D major, D.608, which will always remain a piece we love to play.
