🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Seville

This piano miniature captures a lively Spanish atmosphere through its buoyant rhythms and crisp accents. Short phrases seem to pass from one hand to the other, while the contrast between bright, energetic passages and more subdued moments brings variety to the music. Begin by keeping the beat steady, coordinating the rhythms of both hands, and staying aware of where the accents fall. Let the staccatos bounce lightly, and carry the legato melodies naturally toward the peaks of each phrase. Shaping the dynamic changes broadly while maintaining careful connections between the notes will help bring out the piece’s charm and vivid character.
