🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： ACCENT ON SOLOS – Let’s Waltz

This beginner-level miniature captures the lighthearted character of a waltz through a familiar triple-meter flow. It is important to feel the grouping of the beats while keeping the roles of the right-hand melody and left-hand accompaniment in mind. Shape the phrases with natural breaths, allowing the melody to sing smoothly while keeping the accompaniment from becoming too heavy. Carefully graded dynamics can bring together elegance and accessibility, making the dance-like motion come vividly to life. A key point to listen for is the gentle sway of the triple meter, maintained without rushing the tempo.
