TEACHING NOTES
With this piece you will need to master having different articulation in each hand. This is particularly the case from from 9 when the LH hand becomes more legato. Although the LH part here is phrased only a bar at a time it is better to make one long legato line for the whole phrase rather than a little break on every bar line. (0:18)

Throughout the piece it is the RH which is predominant with the LH a shade quieter. An exception to this is the last LH note of bar 16. Here the A is part of the  opening tune starting over and indeed could be taken with the RH if preferred. As such it should be played a little louder. (0:30)

In bar 24 make the LH staccatos a little longer than before, after all staccato literally means detached but not necessarily (even if usually) short. (0:42)
