🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Little Suite in g-moll Dancing Master (Gavotte)

This gavotte conveys the poised steps and light spring of a dance. Its clear phrases seem to be passed from one to another, while the contrasting character of the opening and later sections provides an important point of interest. Keep the right-hand melody singing, while allowing the left hand to support the organization of the beat and stabilize the whole. Rather than making the staccatos mechanically short, bring out a light sense of lift to evoke an elegant, lively dance character. Carefully shape the dynamic changes and sustain the musical flow through the end of each phrase for a well-balanced performance.
