This two-beat miniature, beginning with a crisp rhythm featuring prominent sixteenth notes, is not merely a "march" as its title suggests, but a march of "crickets." The melodies, characterized by this crisp rhythm and sixteenth notes, convey a somewhat nimble expression, as if depicting the procession of crickets. The rapidly changing musical ideas within the same two-beat meter are likely the result of the crickets' movements being expressed in detail with a narrative quality. It is a miniature piece where various scene changes can be enjoyed within a small musical framework.
