Gallop from Ballet "Cipollino" – Karen Khachaturian (Intermediate Piano Duet)

🎹 This video captures a delightful piano duet, featuring two young pianists—both named Clara—who have studied piano for three years.

Karen Khachaturian (1920–2011) was an Armenian composer who, like his famous uncle Aram Khachaturian, wrote vivid, rhythmically driven music that speaks easily to young performers and audiences. His ballet “Cipollino,” based on a children’s story about a little onion-boy, is full of character pieces that paint playful, comic scenes at a child’s level of imagination.

“Gallop” from the ballet Cipollino is one of the most popular excerpts, and it works brilliantly as a piano duet. The music races forward with a steady, energetic pulse, giving students a chance to experience true “orchestral” excitement at one keyboard while learning tight ensemble, and a strong, confident sense of rhythm.
