The Dranoff International Two Piano Foundation is an American classical music organization, based in Miami, Florida.
In addition to this piece being forever added to the performance canon, it also serves as a required work for the competition's finals.
Some of the most significant commissioned pieces are Two Pianos by Morton Gould, Variations Concertantes by Michel Legrand, Recuerdos by William Bolcom, Taschyag by Paul Schoenfield, Six Variations for Pianos by Ned Rorem, Charoscuro by John Corgliano, Bachanale by Rovert Xavier Rodriguez and Lillibulero Variationsby Sir Richard Rodney Bennett.
Piano Slam is a community outreach and engagement project with the purpose of introducing classical music to underprivileged school children in the Miami area.
A panel then awards prizes for the best works, and the students also have the opportunity to premiere them in front of a live audience at the Adrienne Arscht Center for the Arts in Miami, Florida.
