This piece is characterized by its enjoyable Latin-inspired rhythms. It is crucial to pay attention to the eighth-note rests and to physically internalize the rhythmic sensation of the subsequent motif entering on the off-beat. Practicing rhythmic clapping or counting before playing on the piano is also recommended. While staccato is applied throughout, be mindful of the nuanced difference between quarter-note staccato and eighth-note staccato. Quarter-note staccato should be played with an awareness of the lingering resonance after the note, distinguishing it from the more abrupt, dot-like eighth-note staccato. From measure 9, the dynamics shift to f, and the right hand introduces double stops. One might imagine even more skeletons joining the march at this point. The left hand should provide a solid foundation, supporting the double stops with a firm sound.

In measures 15 and 17, ensure precise execution of the rhythm on the third beat, where the left and right hands are offset. From measure 25, the march reaches its climax, performed f in unison. Play with enthusiasm and crispness, executing the accented syncopations without rushing.
