The Fantasie in F Minor, Op. 103, is Franz Schubert's most-often performed piano duet and is considered one of the great masterpieces of ensemble piano repertoire. Schubert completed the Fantasie in 1828, just a short time before his death later that year. The work demonstrates his mature style and is filled with some of his best writing. Its four connected movements contain lovely and enticing melodies, dramatic gestures in French overture style, a brilliant scherzo and trio, and a virtuosic fugue.

Felix Mendelssohn's Allegro brillant, Op. 92, for one piano, four hands, was written in 1841 and dedicated to Clara Schumann. The expressive Andante theme alternates between the Secondo and Primo, segueing into the virtuosic Allegro assai vivace movement with a rush of scales. All fingering, metronome marks, and notational omissions have been supplemented by the editors. Allegro brillant is considered one of the most challenging pieces in the entire piano duet repertoire.

The Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, written between 1831 and 1832, is marked "Presto con fuoco". The piece is very dark, dramatic, and lively. The Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor, was composed and published in 1837, and described by Schumann as "overflowing with tenderness, boldness, love and contempt." The Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp minor is the most tightly constructed and grandest of the four scherzos. His final Scherzo, No. 4 in E major, was written in 1842, is generally calmer, and is based on a Polish folk song. The Fantasy in F minor was composed in 1842, 7 years before Chopin's death in Paris.
