C major, 2/8 time, Allegro vivace. The performance duration is approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds.
This piece is often selected for stage performances and as a required piece for competitions aimed at younger students. Accents and tenutos effectively tighten the music and play a role in imparting momentum to the piece. Fundamentally, it consists of combinations of repeating rhythmic motifs, and it will be important to construct the music so that these groupings connect naturally. To that end, it is necessary to pay attention to the changing notes. In addition, one can enjoy various expressive changes, such as dynamics, rhythm, and sections with vertical articulation versus horizontally flowing sections. Overall, play lightly.
