Ferrante & Teicher were a popular American piano duo in the 1950s and 1960s, known for their light classical arrangements and over-the-top renditions of movie themes. Comprised of Arthur Ferrante and Louis Teicher, both Juilliard graduates, they blended classical piano with orchestral pop, experimenting with prepared pianos and electronic effects. Their signature sound is showcased in the hit single "Theme from The Apartment", and their cover of the "Theme from Exodus" became a defining work in their career. Their innovative techniques significantly influenced the easy listening and space age pop genre.
