William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 2 Kitty

“Kitty” is a beginner-level miniature with an affectionate, playful character that suits its inviting title. The exchange of short phrases and the light rhythmic feel shape the music’s expression, while its flow, suggesting shifts from one scene to another, is also worth listening for. Begin by allowing the melody to sing smoothly and keeping the accompaniment restrained. In passages with crisp touches such as staccato, avoid striking the keys heavily; instead, use responsive fingertips to portray the cat’s nimble movements. By keeping the tempo steady and adding dynamic contrasts carefully, the piece’s charm and lively personality can be brought to the fore.
