Aladdin “Friend Like Me”Alan Menken

This piece lets you enjoy a Disney film song as a piano duet.
Incorporating elements of jazz and cabaret, it’s an up-tempo arrangement highlighted by a striking brass section.
Performed powerfully by Koichi Yamadera on the 90-minute special of the TV program Music Station in July 2019, the song beautifully blends a cheerful atmosphere with magical staging.
With its melodic, approachable character, it’s perfect for teacher-and-student or parent-and-child duets.
It has also been staged in the Broadway musical adaptation, earning high acclaim including a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in 2014.
Why not perform this beloved classic—adored across generations—together with someone special?
In conclusion
We’ve introduced recommended piano duets for intermediate players. Among pieces playable as duets, there are many four-hand arrangements of piano solos and orchestral works tailored for intermediate level. Since you’re not playing alone, even if one person is advanced or intermediate and the other is a beginner, the more experienced player can lead, making it a great way to level up—this is the appeal of duet performance! Even if a piece wasn’t originally published as a duet, you can enjoy performing it with a different kind of charm than the original. By all means, try pieces from a variety of genres.
