🇮🇹Ottorino Respighi ： 6 Pieces for Children Little Highlander

“Little Highlander,” the closing piece in 6 Pieces for Children, is an approachable character piece for piano four hands. Its lively, forward-moving character and energetic rhythms evoke the title, while the clear phrases and exchanges between the two parts create a sense of playfulness. It is important to maintain a light, steady tempo while allowing the melodic voice to come through. The accompanying part should support the texture with restraint; rather than making every accent identical, performers can bring out a natural springiness and a touch of humor. The changing expression of each short phrase is another aspect to enjoy.
