William L. Gillock ： Little Sparrow

Little Sparrow is a short piece for six hands, performed by three players at one piano. Its charm lies in the light and endearing atmosphere suggested by its title, with the interplay of short phrases and overlapping registers. It is important to distinguish the role of each part while keeping the overall flow together. Avoiding excessive volume, use a crisp touch and natural breathing to bring the quick movements and changes of expression vividly to life. Checking the position of one another’s hands and choosing a comfortable tempo will also help create a well-coordinated performance.
