🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Starlight Waltz

Starlight Waltz is a piano piece that makes use of the gentle sway of the waltz’s triple meter, bringing out a sparkle reminiscent of the night sky and a calm, lyrical quality. The melody and accompaniment work in harmony, while the light movement of the accompaniment supports the overall flow. In passages where the expression changes, carefully shaping differences in dynamics and touch gives the music a natural sense of depth. Let the right-hand melody sing, keep the left hand from making the beats too heavy, and use the pedal only as far as the sound remains clear. Preserving a gentle buoyancy within the meter, as well as elegance, brings out the atmosphere of starlight.
