🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Flamenco

Gillock’s “Flamenco” is a piano piece marked by crisp rhythms reminiscent of a Spanish dance and passionate accents. Short phrases unfold as if in conversation, while changes in dynamics and register build tension and lead toward a brilliant atmosphere. In performance, it is important to maintain the flow of the beat while making the accents clear, contrasting the lightness of the staccato with the singing quality of the legato lines. Use the pedal sparingly to avoid blurring the sound; bringing out the rhythmic spring and expressive dynamics will highlight the dance-like vitality.
