Late in 2013, with a commission from the Swaledale Festival, he sat down at his piano sat down at his piano and began to improvise the first of what would become 25 Picture-Preludes, in the major and minor keys. Like Rachmaninov's Etudes-Tableaux and Medtner's Skazki, these short pieces are intended to stimulate a response in the listener's imagination. Rachmaninov and Medtner are audible influences on Brough's bluesy, late-Romantic musical language. This recording was made on the \\x91Bosendorfer 290', a piano with an extended range in the bass.\u003cp\u003eNo. 1 in B Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 2 in D Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 3 in F Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 4 in D Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 5 in F Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 6 in A-flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 7 in G Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 8 in B-flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 9 in G-sharp Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 10 in B Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 11 in C Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 12 in E-flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 13.
