🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Sonatina in G-Dur

Gillock’s Sonatina in G Major is an approachable piece for learning the clear organization and melodic character associated with the classical sonatina. Its structure is easy to follow as the main idea is presented and developed, while changes in character from one passage to another add interest. The contrast between light, flowing passages and singing melodic lines is a particular highlight. Let the right-hand melody resonate clearly, keep the pulse steady in the left-hand accompaniment, and shape dynamics and rests with care. Avoid rushing the tempo and maintain a sense of direction through the end of each phrase for a poised, lively performance.
