Energico, meaning energetically and powerfully. Ensure that dotted rhythms are not played too sweetly, and that dotted eighth notes and sixteenth notes do not become slurred together; precise articulation is crucial. The music evokes the image of a brisk, triumphant march, with arms swinging vigorously. While the title "War Song" might sound alarming, the concept of cultivating a combative mindset through play-fighting is likely familiar to contemporary children. A sense of power permeates the sound. In this context, a conscious effort to relax by employing a soft wrist would likely impede the musical expression. Envision the arm as a cylindrical vessel, filled with sand, where its substantial weight supports a sound of considerable density. Although the right hand carries the primary melodic line, the left hand provides supportive accompaniment with equally dense sonorities.
