[Naming filter] Help me come up with a name for a piano duo.

A friend of mine is in a new piano duo, but she can't think of a good name for it, thus asking me to query the hive mind! They're both Russian pianists and would like the name to reflect their Russianness. They have a concert this weekend and can't really go nameless. help!

How do you say "four hands" in Russian?

Response by poster: Oh, I guess I should've mentioned that they will be playing classical music pieces.

Glière Girls

(I guess you didn't state that they were both female.)

Bach to Bach (wow, I can't believe I just came up with that...)

Even cheesier would be "Bach2Bach," obviously...

Assuming the duo are both female:

"Mesdames les Muses", from a quote by Tchaikovsky.

"I sit down to the piano regularly at nine-o'clock in the morning and Mesdames les Muses have learned to be on time for that rendezvous."

The Rockmaninovs, although I suppose that could be a little deceptive as they play classical pieces.
