Diabellical Waltz is a brief solo piano work written in 2019. Its title suggests a waltz seen through a distorted mirror: elegant in outline, but sharpened by irony, theatricality and an undercurrent of menace.

The piece does not depend on programmatic explanation. Its force lies in compression: a familiar dance-form is made unstable, quickened into something more volatile, elusive and psychologically charged.

• Form One-movement solo piano work.
• Duration Approximately 4 minutes.
• Forces Solo piano.

Diabellical Waltz belongs to Auerbach’s catalogue of concentrated solo piano works, where genre, memory and character are often transformed through a sharply individual dramatic imagination.

The work’s title is itself a provocation: a waltz, traditionally associated with elegance and social grace, becomes unstable, shadowed and dangerous. The result is not an homage pageant, but a miniature theatre of distortion.
