This piece is a contemporary march written by Gabriel Batista for the piano. It is distinctive for its clear, rhythmic pulse and traditional harmonic structure typical of pedagogical character pieces.
At Henle 2 this is a beginner-level piece, where steady coordination between the hands is the main hurdle. The main demands: precise articulation — the difference between crisp and blurred is the piece; repeated-note passages that require controlled, springy fingerwork; and a left hand with real melodic or rhythmic responsibility of its own.
Maintain a steady, non-rushed pulse while ensuring crisp articulation in the left-hand accompaniment.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
A level or two down with the same spirit — ideal if this piece is still out of reach.
Where this piece's skills lead: slightly harder works making similar technical demands.
