This is a fast-tempo dance piece in 4/4 time. Since the tempo is Vivo and fast, it might be possible to perceive it in duple meter; however, as it is a 'dance' and not a march, it is advisable to maintain an awareness of the 4/4 meter and ensure that the weak beats do not become excessively subdued. For the right hand, feel the melodic movement and connect the melodic line smoothly. Meanwhile, the left hand appears to be taking steps. While measures 3-4, which respond to measures 1-2, use the same chords, measures 7-8, responding to measures 5-6, surprisingly remove the flats. Perform with a sense of surprise.
