Wonderful Washington

美妙的華盛頓州 "以三個引人入勝的樂章向這個太平洋西北部的州致敬。斯波坎瀑布》通過流暢的交叉手動機、重複圖案和切分節奏，描繪了河濱公園的瀑布。西雅圖之巔》用寬廣的鍵盤音域描繪了雷尼爾山和太空針塔的高度。通過不和諧的、意想不到的和絃、大量的附點音符和調性變化，營造出一種神秘的音色。對學生來說，演奏大音程時的手部伸展是一項技術挑戰。瓦拉瓦拉糖果》通過運用附點音符、切分音和混合發音，展現了一種狂歡的音色。挑戰之一是快速的手位變化。斯波坎瀑布》是聯邦音樂節 2016-2020 年的選曲。

原文簡介:
Wonderful Washington pays tribute to this Pacific Northwest state in three engaging movements. "Spokane Falls" depicts the waterfalls in Riverfront Park through flowing, cross-hand motives, with repeating patterns and syncopated rhythms. "Seattle Summits" portrays the height of Mount Rainier and the Space Needle by using a broad range of the keyboard. A mysterious sound is achieved through dissonant, unexpected chords, abundant accidentals, and key changes. A technical challenge for students is stretching the hand for large intervals. "Walla Walla Sweets" displays a carnival sound through the use of accidentals, syncopation, and mixed articulations. One of the challenges is rapid hand-position changes. "Spokane Falls" is a Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection.
