This is for piano four hands, not two pianos, and dates from 1845. There was a 1975 LP recording (Vox Turnabout TV 34590S) of it played by Mary Louise Boehm & Pauline Boehm. I've digitised my copy, but I don't think it's has ever been available commercially in CD or mp3 format. It's a strong piece and I'm looking forward to hearing this modern recording, although the duo's timing for the first movement, at 14:29 is very much longer than the 9:29 taken by the Boehms. Of course, this may be because the LP performance is cut, or repeats aren't observed. We'll see.
