William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 1A Rainy Day

“Rainy Day” is a charming elementary-level miniature that evokes a gentle, tranquil scene. Its delicate motion suggests falling raindrops, while the interplay between the simple melody and accompaniment conveys the atmosphere of a quiet day. Performers should keep the overall flow in mind and shape each phrase as a coherent unit. Avoid pressing the keys heavily; instead, use a light,柔らかな touch with even articulation, bringing the melody slightly forward over the accompaniment. If using the pedal, take care not to blur the sound, and use subtle dynamic changes to portray the changing character of the rain.
