Ancient Epigraph\" are both performed on two pianos, rather than the four-hand piano version intended by the composer. Both pieces were written in the early 20th century, and it is speculated that Debussy's piece was influenced by Stravinsky's \"The Rite of Spring,\" which was inspired by an ancient religious rite that he was friends with. The Lavec sisters describe their \"Ancient Epigraph\" as follows. We played this piece in concert with four hands, as it was a piece intended for a single keyboard instrument, and we never played it with two keyboard instruments if we were comfortable with the four-hand relationship.\"However, under the constraints of recording, where everything must be precisely controlled, we found that playing with two keyboard instruments produced better results. The sound and textures are more expansive, and we get better results without the physical problems that can arise with four hands.
