Cute little march. 4/4 even rhythms that are march-like
LH Slurs while RH is legato, Cut time, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths in LH (melodic and harmonic), scale passage at the end.
3/4 time signature, changes briefly to g minor and then returns to G Major.
3/4, accents, student can laugh along with music
Lots of dynamic contrasts to make it spooky, sfz, d minor, accents
3/4, pedal, RH crossing over on each line, minor key
Lots of dissonance and unusual but interesting note combinations, back and forth "conversation" between LH and RH, ends on outermost notes of keyboard.
Accented and syncopated rhythms as suggested by the title. Both RH and LH get a chance at the syncopation.
16th notes, staccato and legato articulation, accents, dynamic contrasts
Quartal and Quintal harmonies.
