Performance practice suggestions
-Think of a lone bird fluttering its wings, dodging and dipping through the treetops of a lamp-lit park on a quiet night.
-Try practicing the repetitive descending left-hand line first to establish the off-kilter foundation of the piece.
-Don't let the key signature intimidate you. The piece is quite comfortable in Eb minor.
Please interpret this piece how you will. I believe all art speaks to people in different ways, sometimes even contrary to what the artist intended. The articulations and markings in the piece show how I imagine it to be played, but I don't expect it to be played that way. However, I would like to hear someone perform Night Bird in a more graceful manner than my performance. Go do it!
