🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Accent on Solos 2 Midnight Owl

This miniature portrays the presence of an owl standing quietly in the night through concise musical writing. In passages with few notes, the resonance of each note stands out, while the spacing and exchanges between short phrases create the stillness and tension of the night. Throughout, it is important not to play too forcefully, while maintaining a clear core even in soft dynamics. Carefully sensing the rests and phrase breaks, and remaining aware of the space after the sound has faded, brings to mind a scene of an owl gazing into its surroundings. While allowing the melody to sing naturally, enjoy the changes of expression from one scene to the next.
