🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Accent On 1 Wind in c-moll

True to its title, “Wind” leaves an impression with its delicate motion and flowing phrases. The music unfolds through a succession of short units, while changes in dynamics and accents create forward momentum. The right-hand melody should be brought out clearly, while the left hand remains light and controlled to maintain the flow of the accompaniment. Rather than hurrying simply for the sake of energy, shape the breathing points at the beginnings and ends of phrases to highlight the sense of motion and tension, as if the wind were sweeping through. Attention not only to dynamic contrast but also to the lightness of the touch and the way the sound resonates will help bring out the changes of expression within this brief piece.
