Nine Short Pieces for Piano is a set of small-scale compositions by Douglas Lilburn.
They were written around 1965 and published in 1969, chosen in 1967 with pianist Margaret Nielsen from a folder of similarly brief manuscripts labelled "crotchety at 51".
[2] These pieces were among the last that Lilburn composed for acoustic instruments; he began to focus on electronic experimentation in 1965.
[3] With a harmonic and rhythmic texture drawing from his electronic music, these pieces explore the full extent of the piano's range and dynamics;[1] "looking as modern music should look".
