William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 2 Monkey Monkey

This short piece has a bright, humorous character that brings to mind a mischievous monkey. Brief motifs and rhythmic movements are passed along with a lively touch, while repetitions of similar material create subtle changes in expression. Its approachable flow and crisp articulation, supported by a steady sense of tempo, are among its highlights. In performance, avoid making the sound too heavy, and use relaxed wrists and fingers to maintain a light character. Carefully shaping the contrasts in dynamics and naturally conveying the playful spirit will make the musical movement come vividly to life.
