William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 3 Flute Song and Dance

Flute Song and Dance is a short piece that explores contrasting musical character through smooth, songful passages and sections suggesting light, lively movement. Listen carefully to the balance between melody and accompaniment. In the songful passages, focus on the direction of each phrase and the length of the musical breath while maintaining a natural legato. In the dance-like sections, bring out the buoyancy of the beat and the crispness of the rhythm, keeping the tempo steady and adding lively accents. Clearly distinguishing the two characters creates rich variety within the concise piece.
