An early example of this can be found in Franz Berwald's quartet for piano, horn, clarinet and bassoon ( 1819), his opus 1. A rare form of piano quartets consist of two pianos with two players at each piano. This type of ensemble is informally referred to as "eight-hand piano", or "two piano eight hands". Eight-hand piano was popular in the late 19th century before the advent of recordings as it was a mechanism to reproduce and study symphonic works. Music lovers could hear the major symphonic works all in the convenience of a parlour or music hall that had two pianos and four pianists. Many of the popular works of

were transcribed for two piano eight hands. The majority of 8 hand piano music consists of transcriptions, or arrangements.
