🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Accent On 1 Carillon in D-Dur

With its bright, lively atmosphere evoking the sound of bells, this miniature brings to life Gillock’s approachable piano writing. Repeated figures and buoyant rhythms propel the music forward, while changes in register and the breadth of the resonance provide points to enjoy as the character shifts. Bring the right-hand melody clearly to the fore, support it with a left hand that never becomes heavy, and use the pedal only enough to preserve clarity. Shaping overlapping sonorities as if bells were sounding at different distances, and refining dynamic contrasts and crisp articulation, brings out its brilliance and momentum.
