Simple Duets

[Thrax]

Are there any easy four hand pieces for piano composed by (Bach Handel Haydn Mozart Beethoven Schubert Schumann Brahms etc....) ?

"Easy" is a rather broad characterization, but nevertheless:
There seem to be 4 Duettos, BWV 802 - 805 by J. S. Bach, apparently playable on the piano.
I know of no Handel originals for 4-hands.
Haydn wrote "Il Maestro e Lo Scolare", a set of fairly simple variations.
There are a few fragments by Mozart which could be considered somewhat easy; the several 4-hand sonatas are definitely more complex.
Beethoven contributed a sonata in D, several marches, at least two variation sets.
Schubert's multitudinous contributions are legendary, although many or most of them are well beyond "easy".
Schumann wrote several items: 12 Pieces for Large and Small Children, op. 85, are the easiest.
And then there is Brahms, who composed a set of 4-hand variations, the Hungarian Dances, and a 4-hand version of the Op. 39 Waltzes.

Many of these items are already in the IMSLP library. See the link below:

You might also wish to explore "44 Original Piano Duets", published by Presser for $18.95. Catalogue number is 410-41166.

I recently uploaded a book with simple piano duet pieces by Heinrich Enke:

There is a delightful set of variations by Mozart, K501, which is not technically terribly difficult (though there are black bits you need to practice). I first met it on a CD set of Argerich playing all sorts of things with other people...
