Playing tips:
What a great, energetic piece this is! It should sound brilliant from beginning to end. Finger articulation needs to be spot-on, with the RH semiquavers nimble from the outset. Notice how the LH often has to jump over the RH (first appearance is in bar 2). Make sure that, even if the LH jumps over the RH, it remains as close to the keyboard as possible. This allows for quicker access to the notes.
With regards to dynamics, most of the piece requires a strong forte tone, but at places such as bar 9, bar 11 and elsewhere, a sudden drop in dynamic to piano is needed. Pedal is not required.
