William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 3 Roller Skating

This approachable miniature captures the fun of roller skating through a lively rhythm and a sense of gliding motion. Short phrases seem to pass from one to another, while the contrast between sections with different characters provides an important listening point. The hands should move together without losing the bounce of the beat, and the sound should not become too heavy. Keeping the tempo steady, avoiding rushing the shorter notes, and relaxing the wrists will help maintain a smooth sense of continuity and bring out the music’s light, animated character.
