The first performance was at a private concert in London on New Year's Day 1990. The idea was to create a chamber music work in which the piccolo part would be integrated as far as possible with the texture of the strings, in a similar way to the works for clarinet quintet. At times, however, the wide differences of tessitura between the piccolo and the strings is exploited for special textural and harmonic effects. Occasional bitonal elements between the piccolo and strings, for instance, take on a new guise due to the wide distance between the octaves. The work is in sonata form preceded by a slow introduction which recurs in varied form towards the end of the work. A coda, not without a touch of virtuosity, brings the work to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Graham Waterhouse\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraham Waterhouse (b. 1962) is a British composer and cellist whose music includes chamber, orchestral and solo works. His writing often reflects his experience as a performer, with a particular interest in instrumental colour, unusual combinations of instruments and the interaction between individual voices within an ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs both composer and cellist, Waterhouse has maintained a strong connection with chamber music, writing extensively for strings and wind instruments in a style that combines contemporary techniques with clearly defined musical structures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60755027099982,"sku":"ZM34380","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/zm34380_0.jpg?v=1789050652","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/graham-waterhouse-quintet-op-26-for-piccolo-2-violins-viola-and-cello","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
