I am starting to study four-hand pieces for the first time; what do you suggest tackling when approaching this type of study? Are there any things to be more careful about?
Is it a case of studying both parts?
Thank you and compliments on the community

... surely you should know what the other one will play

Separate study. If you play the first part, take a look to "get to know" the second part as well. It is fundamental for the attacks. To learn while having fun, I can recommend buying the Minus One tracks if available for what you need to play in four hands. Very interesting and useful.
It is very important that you practice together every now and then, even if only for an hour once a week, to decide and practice the synchronization of the right timings and the right breaths.
Happy music!

Thanks, how do you behave instead regarding memorization?

The Duo should not play from memory, except in exceptional cases. It is more prudent and, by tradition, that is how it is. There are so many things to think about even during performance... that if we also add the worry of memory.....
