Piano Productions Press

Specialties

Piano Productions Press publishes piano music exclusively, with piano ensemble repertoire (multiple hands and pianos) a specialty. A significant part of our catalog revives the arrangements and transcriptions of the First Piano Quartet. In cooperation with the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, this collection is being made available to the public for the first time. Piano Productions, Inc. has researched the multi-​hand repertoire internationally, along the way unearthing many out-​of-​print, and otherwise unavailable multi-​piano scores. These, commissions of original works and arrangements, and the First Piano Quartet library, form the Piano Productions Press catalog. The editors of Piano Productions Press wish you and your students many hours of piano enjoyment.
