🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Landler

With its simple dance character, “Landler” is a charming miniature shaped by a light triple-meter flow and a tuneful, approachable melody. The points to listen for include the well-defined phrases and the subtle changes of expression that emerge through repetition. In performance, avoid placing too much weight on the first beat; instead, preserve the buoyancy of the dance while carefully shaping the melodic direction and the ends of phrases. Keep the accompaniment soft and light, and vary between legato and crisp articulation as appropriate to bring out the elegance within its simplicity.
