The key point when performing this piece is to play it precisely, like a metronome, without fluctuating the tempo. Numerous detailed dynamic markings are written throughout, but there are no tempo indications whatsoever. Proceed plainly, like a march, ensuring that even the final measure does not end slowly.

Furthermore, while it is sufficient to adhere to the written dynamics in this piece, understanding and expressing the inherent joy of the music itself will undoubtedly transform the performance.

Though merely one perspective, consider that this piece contains several characters. Think of it as a conversation (call and response) among these characters. Try to vary the tone quality to express each different character. Even when playing the same melody, it can be enjoyable to distinguish, for example, a melody in a high treble clef position as female and a melody an octave lower as male.

Vary the tone quality and volume meticulously, and perform 'joyfully and rhythmically'. The final three measures are where the tension in this piece reaches its peak. Try to make the final three measures the loudest in terms of volume.
