🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Accent on Solos 2 Paris Flower Girl

Paris Flower Girl is a charming miniature whose appealing title suggests a delightful scene, while inviting the performer to explore lightness and lyricism. It is important to let the melody sing clearly while keeping the movement of the accompaniment controlled, creating a sense of depth. In passages that seem to suggest a change of scene, carefully shape variations in dynamics and touch while maintaining the overall flow. Avoid rushing the ends of melodic phrases, and use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred; this will enhance the delicate, bright atmosphere. Within its brief span, the piece offers valuable practice in balancing melody and accompaniment, changing expression, and shaping a natural melodic line.
