First, pay attention to the left hand. When the left hand plays the note G, it is likely with the first finger. At the beginning, the left hand enters on an anacrusis, which marks the first note of the phrase. The first finger is strong and tends to exert too much force; be careful to start without producing a loud sound. The left hand's G also appears on the fourth beat of measure 1; it is uncertain whether this was written considering the hand size of young children or for other reasons, but this note should also not be played too strongly.

Next, in measure 3, the first finger appears again, along with the second finger. These two notes are merely accompaniment, so play this F and G softly. Playing these two notes loudly will sound quite rough.

  • Measures 7-8: The sixth, which is often the most noticeable flaw in piano playing, appears. Firmly suppress the left-hand notes and play the right hand clearly.
  • Measures 9-10: Play rhythmically with short staccatos.
  • Measures 11-12: Before playing, look at the left hand and ensure that the first finger of the left hand has landed on the distant low G. This will help avoid missteps.
