Gerald Braden Piano Waltzes

This is a waltz I composed for my daughter "Angela," from a series of six Piano Waltzes I composed for the women in my family. The "feel" of this piece is a little mixture of a Waltz and a Nocturne. I recorded this onto my rack mount studio CD recorder, using a small mixer, and my 88 key Kurzweil K2500 keyboard. If anyone is interested in performing any of my works live, please contact me. All my works are fully scored, and copyrighted. Thank you for listening! 

In the past few years, I have composed a series of six Piano Waltzes for all the women in my family including, my Mother Helga, my Aunt Ingrid in Vienna, my sister Karen, sister Kathy, my daughter Anglea, and my dear Grandmother from Vienna, Maria (Omi). I will post more of these pieces when I have time. I hope you enjoy my music, and thank you for listening....Peace!

Angela's Waltz In Db (Piano) Gerald Wilhelm Braden

This is a waltz I composed for my Aunt Ingrid in Vienna, who is my Mother Helga's sister. It has a traditional Viennese waltz in the center, though I used more of a modern European tonality and feel in the slower intro, marked "maestoso." Following the intro are four short sections marked "misterioso,"  "tenebroso" (gloomy),  "dolce" (sweet), and finally "caloroso" (warmly), to set up the happier and faster upcoming waltz. This is the fourth waltz in a series of piano waltzes that I composed with love and respect for the women in my family. If anyone is interested in performing any of my works live, please contact me.

Ingrid's Waltz In Ab (Piano) Gerald Wilhelm Braden

This is a short melancholy waltz I composed for my beautiful sister Kathy, that passed away from cancer in 2000. Kathy was not only my sister, she was one of my best friends. She could light up a room with her smile and laughter, and had a wonderful personality and soul. If you look at her photo above, you will see that she had the same smile and twinkle in her eyes when she was 50, as when she was a little girl. When I was younger, I always envisioned us as a couple of older gray haired people one day, sitting together, playing cards, and laughing about our family and youth together. Life can be short, so love your family and friends, and enjoy their company while we are here!

Waltz In D Minor-Katherine's Lament (Piano)  Gerald Wilhelm Braden

This is a new waltz I composed for my younger sister Karen. This is more of a dramatic style piano waltz for listening, instead of a Viennese dance style waltz. I originally called this "Karen's Grand Waltz," because my sister Karen is the "aristocrat" of the family, and is always busy with work and her life.
