Analysis

The time signature of this piece is two four, which means there are two beats in a measure and a quarter note gets one beat. And the tempo of the song is Allegro, which means "quick and lively". Key signature is C major, but it changes to a minor between bar 27 to 30. And there are some accidentals between bar 31 to 40.
There are three specific signs in this piece. The first one is a repeat sign which means that I have to play bar 5 to 12 twice. And the second one is D.S. al Fine. For this one, I have to go back to the place in the music designated by the sign that looks like 'S', and continue to play to the 'Fine' sign. The last one is sfz which means "a sudden strong accent". There are only two sfz signs in the piece. One is on the first note of bar 27, and the next one is also on the first note of bar 31.
The dynamic change of this piece is quite simple. At first, it starts with piano, and then it gradually gets louder through bar 13 to bar 26. And at the end of the piece, there is a decrescendo which means 'get gradually softer'. Lastly, one thing that I have to be careful about this piece is tonguing because thre are a lot of staccatos and slurs.
