Tom Gerou: 2 Halves of an Orange – Late Elementary Piano Duet

A melodically catchy piano duet that’s full of charm and playfulness. 2 Halves of an Orange features shifting five-finger patterns, legato–staccato articulations, accidentals (sharps and naturals), and a flowing triple meter. Written for two students at the Late Elementary level, this piece is as delightful to perform as it is to hear.

Reminiscent of a carefree summer picnic — orange slices, laughter, and sunshine — the duet captures a moment of pure childhood joy, full of silliness and shared smiles.
