Kember 's original duets bring together a wide variety of styles, ranging from waltzes and lullabies, to jazz, Latin and folk. The pieces are in progressive order of difficulty, and may be performed as student/teacher duets or bytwo players of equal ability. Kember 's specialization in jazz and popular compostion is evident in Just for Two. Pieces like 'Jazz Waltz, ' 'Habanera, ' 'Blues for Two, ' and 'Bossa Nova ' are above -average examples, made even moreappealing by the full, layered sound created by four hands. . . Throughout, Kember displays a gift for fashioning interesting, lyrical melodies over elegant accompaniments. . . The edition is clear and clean, which gives the music anadded sense of maturity. Though some of the pieces are quite easy, the sophisticated presentation makes Just for Two a good choice for a college or adult piano class. I highly recommned this collection as a strong addition to thepedagogical duet repertoire. - -Clavier Companion
