“Hummingbird” is a light and bright miniature whose delicate, quick-moving figures suggest a small bird darting through the air. Despite its brevity, the piece is engaging for its contrast between brisk passages and moments that ease the motion slightly to let the sound resonate. The rapid passages should be played clearly without tension, with a light touch and evenly shaped notes. Where the melody emerges, its continuity should be carefully maintained. Moderate use of dynamics and pedal helps preserve the piece’s agility without allowing it to become noisy.
