Pam Lunn and David Pennant both have a drawer full of harder piano duets - Bach, Beethoven, Schubert etc. Try my seven easy piano duets (four hands on one piano). Free download. Also available there are fifteen pieces for solo instrument and piano where the piano part is deliberately as easy as I can make it. I wrote these pieces with families in mind where one child plays the piano and another an orchestral instrument, so that they could play together. Also useful for pupils that struggle to find a piece to play together for GCSE. All free download.
