My mum and I would quite like to play duet music (on one piano), but I'm rather confused as to what music to look for. Are 'four hands' and 'piano duet' the same thing? A lot of 'piano duet' music seems to be for 2 pianos on closer inspection (i thought this was duo), but then a lot of it is also for one piano. I was wondering if either name (or something else) is the standard name for two people on one piano, or whether composers just chose the one they like best?

ben_walker446 has answered my question via PM, thanks anyway

I was always led to believe that "four hands" meant one piano, and one person, with four hands........ are you telling me I was misled???

Definitely. It's for one piano, one dog. Woof!
