Togetherness Hobbies

Ever since we were dating, we have enjoyed playing piano duets together. We get to sit next to each other and enjoy time as a couple. We can make music together that we can't make with just one. Our favorites are songs out of a handful of duet books for four hands. Our best duet ever was Miaou by Gabriel Faure. We worked on it many evenings together, after the kids went to bed, in preparation for a talent show.

We also both play hymns at church. There are some 300 hymns in our hymnbook. We can play most of them. Both of us, can pretty much play whatever hymn is asked of us. Except, one... #62 "All Creatures of our God and King". It's a beast! We've both practiced it many times, trying to master it. But, when asked to play it for a group or congregation, we both know it's going to have to be a duet. I play top hand, he plays bottom hand. That's the only way, to gracefully get through that song. We both enjoy our hobby together.
