🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Accent on Solos 1 Clocks and Watches

This short piece is marked by regular rhythms that evoke the ticking of a clock and the small movements of a wristwatch. Short notes and repeated pitches support the flow of the music, which proceeds at a steady tempo. Within this ticking motion, the way the melody emerges is a key point to listen for. In performance, keep the beat steady and even out each short note and repeated pitch. It is important to maintain a light, lively character without becoming overly mechanical, while carefully shaping the direction of the melody and changes in dynamics.
