It was first performed at a Liszt festival of the Gasteig, Munich, with the composer playing the cello part. History, structure and musicWaterhouse composed the work as the closing work of the 2011 Liszt Festival at the Gasteig, Munich, played in a concert of works by Liszt and Waterhouse. He combined elements of Liszt's music such as "virtuosic piano writing", "characteristic harmonic colour through the piling up of similar intervals", "timbre as a structural device, delineating form by extremes of high and low texture, as well as by the return of percussive elements" and "recurrence and transformation of idees fixes" themes, notably the Dies irae theme. The work developed to a "scaled down piano concerto", combining concertante elements for the piano with chamber music writing for the strings.[3] The work is in one movement, structured in five sections: The first section, like a toccata, is based on two themes, one of them the "Dies irae". In the second section, this theme "appears both in lyrical as well as in satirical guise". The third section introduces a cantabile line in the strings and leads to a dialogue of piano and first violin. The fourth section is a "demonic scherzo in 6/8 time". The finale combines the material of all previous sections and ends with a fast coda.[3] A review in the Süddeutsche Zeitung compares the music to a dreamlike ride through surreal territory, full of surprising events and turns.[6] PerformancesThe premiere was played at the Liszt Festival 2011 of the Gasteig by pianist Valentina Babor, string players of the Münchner Philharmoniker Clément Courtin, Namiko Fuse and Konstantin Sellheim, and the composer as the cellist.[7] The same ensemble played several concerts in the Munich area, for example on 20 March 2012 at the Hochschule für Musik München, combining works of Waterhouse, including Three Pieces for Solo Cello, with piano quartets of Beethoven. They performed the premiere in the UK on 9 October 2012 at Highgate School, London, the composer's former school, in a concert dedicated to works by Waterhouse.[3] The reviewer termed the work a mini-piano concerto.[9] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| url = http://www.arbc.de/Waterhouse/pdf/2012-10-09%20London%20program.pdf| title = A Recital of Music by Graham Waterhouse (OC)| year = 2012| format = PDF| pages = 3, 4| publisher = Highgate School| accessdate = 11 October 2012}} [1][2][3][4]2. ^1 {{cite web |url = http://www.gasteig.de/veranstaltungen-und-tickets/veranstaltungen/hommage-a-liszt-.html,v10153 |title = Hommage à Liszt |year = 2011 |publisher = Gasteig |accessdate = 9 October 2012 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120404021809/http://www.gasteig.de/veranstaltungen-und-tickets/veranstaltungen/hommage-a-liszt-.html,v10153 |archivedate = 4 April 2012 |df = }} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://www.arbc.de/Waterhouse/pdf/2012-02-13%20SZ%20Gilching.pdf| title = Frisch und wild / Packende Kammermusik in Gilching| publisher = Süddeutsche Zeitung| date = 13 February 2012| format = PDF| language = German| accessdate = 18 February 2012}} 4. ^1 {{cite web| last = Woolf| first = Peter Grahame| url = http://www.musicalpointers.co.uk/reviews/liveevents12/wwagner.html#gw| title = Graham Waterhouse Portrait Concert| publisher = musicalpointers.co.uk| date = 9 October 2012| accessdate = 10 October 2012}} }} External links
