🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 3 Allegro in Unknown Key

This learner-oriented miniature by William L. Gillock appears in Piano All the Way 3. While maintaining the lively tempo suggested by the title Allegro, listening for the shaping of phrases and the passing of musical lines helps clarify the flow. A point of interest is the contrast between lightly moving passages and the subtle nuance that emerges at the ends of phrases. In performance, it is important not to rush, but to balance a steady pulse with clear articulation. An even balance between the hands, awareness of each voice’s role, and a relaxed wrist can help create a vivid impression. Begin by feeling the breath of each phrase, then connect the whole piece naturally.
