Praeludium (Waterhouse)[edit]

Graham Waterhouse in 2011

  • ... that Praeludium, a 1992 "dramatic concert piece" for piano by Graham Waterhouse (pictured) served as the prelude for a composer Portrait CD in 2001, and for a portrait concert at the Gasteig in 2012? Source: several
  • Reviewed: University of Reading War Memorial
  • Comment: best on the composer's birthday, 2 November - the description of the piece is flowery, but that's only my translation, so I'm reluctant to use it for a hook: "a dramatic concert piece with gushing figurations, lyrical insertions, polyphonic elements, harmonic refinement and a purposefully intensified enormous conclusion"

  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Image is freely licensed. However, the image has already appeared on the main page in the DYK column on November 2, 2012. QPQ done.
  • Foreign language hook refs AGF and cited inline. I would like to suggest that a few words be added to make this clearer to non-music aficionados:
  • ALT1: ... that Praeludium, a 1992 "dramatic concert piece" for piano by Graham Waterhouse, became a signature composition, serving as the prelude for a composer portrait CD in 2001 and a portrait concert at the Gasteig in 2012? Yoninah (talk) 20:25, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Fine. The last time I said that an image appeared already the reply was that it didn't matter ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:36, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I'll leave in "(pictured)" for the promoter. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:01, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
