Rhapsodie Macabre is a composition for piano and string quartet in one movement by Graham Waterhouse, written in 2011 as a homage to Franz Liszt.

[1] He combined elements of Liszt's music such as "virtuosic piano writing", "characteristic harmonic colour through the piling up of similar intervals", "timbre as a structural device, delineating form by extremes of high and low texture, as well as by the return of percussive elements" and "recurrence and transformation of idees fixes" themes, notably the Dies irae theme.

[2] A review in the Süddeutsche Zeitung compares the music to a dreamlike ride through surreal territory, full of surprising events and turns.

[4] The premiere was played at the Liszt Festival 2011 of the Gasteig by pianist Valentina Babor, string players of the Münchner Philharmoniker Clément Courtin, Namiko Fuse and Konstantin Sellheim, and the composer as the cellist.

[5] The same ensemble played several concerts in the Munich area, for example on 20 March 2012 at the Hochschule für Musik München, combining works of Waterhouse, including Three Pieces for Solo Cello, with piano quartets of Beethoven.
