🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Children’s Album No.17 Waltz Etude

Type:Piece-collection Collection:Children's Album Key: - Duration:3:00

This short piece combines the lilting flow of a waltz in triple meter with the approachable qualities of a study. Although it moves lightly, careful attention should be paid to shaping the melody and balancing it with the accompaniment. A particular appeal lies in the changes of expression that emerge within recurring patterns of movement. It is important to preserve the overall flow while clearly shaping phrases and the dynamic contrasts between sections. Keep the right-hand melody smooth, and avoid making the waltz pulse in the left hand too heavy; this brings out an elegant and lively character. Use the pedal sparingly, changing it with the harmony so that the sound remains clear.
