🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Piano All the Way 4 Arabian Nights

Arabian Nights is a character piece that evokes an exotic, imaginative atmosphere through approachable piano writing. Its expressive character is shaped by a memorable melody and lively rhythmic movement, while contrasts suggesting changes of scene provide an additional point of interest. Keep the melody singing throughout and organize the accompaniment lightly; clear distinctions between staccato and legato will bring the music to life. Avoid making dynamic changes overly abrupt, and use the pedal sparingly so that the sound remains clear. With an awareness of short phrase groupings, the piece can be performed as though telling a story.
