Hi
I am looking for some classical duet for a 5 years old and 4 years old, both of them is in Piano Adventure Level 1 book now. It has to be classical period and easy enough for a 4 and 5 years old.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Add: It has to be original too. Not arrangement

I don't think such things exist...
Even Diabelli's "The Pleasures of Youth" is more difficult than Piano Adventure Level 1.
Alfred's "Duet Classics for Piano, Book 1" has the easiest duets on earth. You could give that book a try. Does Andre count as classical??

If you can't find it, have you considered writing your own simplified duet of a classical piece?

Yes, that's the book.
I seriously doubt any Piano Adventures Book 1 kids will be able to play stuff from this book. There's a piece by Andre in it that's not very hard. There's also a Czerny piece and a few Diabelli pieces.
They are all original works.

Primo Profiles has original elementary duets in 5-finger patterns. Some of W&A's other stuff might work, too: http://www.weekleyarganbright.com/elementary.htm
