Piano Album is a collection of eight pieces for piano by Graham Waterhouse, published in 2006 by Lienau. The pieces were composed as dedications to family or friends.

History[]

Waterhouse composed eight short piano pieces of two pages each over a longer period, beginning with Scherzino in 1984. Seven of them bear a dedication, by initials, to a family member or friend.[1][2] Christopher White played a selection in a composer portrait at the Gasteig in Munich on 11 April 2011.[3] The program featured also vocal music including the premiere of Im Gebirg, a song setting a poem by Hans Krieger.[3]

Piano Album was published by Lienau in 2006. The pieces form a cycle, but a performer can make a selection and change the order. Each piece is focused on specific intervals.[1]

The titles are:[1]

  1. Scherzino
  2. Bagatelle
  3. Barcarolle
  4. Holstein Scherzo
  5. Consternation
  6. Hornpipe
  7. Interlude
  8. Monty's Waltz
