🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 3 Storm

Suggesting the character of a storm, this short piece is filled with tension and vitality. The accumulation of brief phrases and the forward drive of the rhythm propel the music ahead, while changes in dynamics and contrasts between registers vividly portray the scene. A key point is to maintain the overall flow while bringing out the changes from one musical unit to the next. In performance, avoid forcing the accents; instead, make them crisp and well placed within the beat. Do not rush the tempo, but distinguish the weight of the lower register from the sharpness of the upper register, gradually increasing the volume and tension toward the climactic passages for a powerful result.
