This piece is characterized by Gillock's distinctive flowing melodies, evoking the image of fairies dancing in a forest. The right hand's light arpeggios and graceful legato phrases express the delicate movements of fairies, while the left hand accompanies not merely as an accompaniment but as a counter-melody. While the pedal can be used to create a fantastical atmosphere, due to the abundance of short note values, it is advisable to use a shallow pedal rather than a deep one, adding nuance to the resonance. Consciously allowing the layers of sound to expand naturally, as if light is shimmering, will further enhance the fantastical world.
Although accents are marked on the final notes of the right-hand phrases and on the left-hand chords, be careful not to strike them too forcefully. By allowing them to resonate lightly with the awareness of 'a point where energy is released,' natural movement will emerge within the flow.
From measure 13, the energy gradually builds, leading towards the brilliant long arpeggio in measure 15. Here, it is advisable to apply significant diminuendos and crescendos to achieve a dynamic and dramatic expression. Strive to make the sound expand beautifully.
In the middle section, poco meno mosso, it is advisable to savor the mood and carefully express the changes in resonance. After immersing oneself in the A minor resonance for four measures, the music gradually returns to C major. Here, cherishing the sensation of gradually regaining a positive feeling and brightness will enrich the musical expression.
Emphasize subtle expressions to bring out the fantastical charm inherent in this piece.
