TEACHING NOTES
Have fun with this piece. Be quite percussive and make strong accents where marked. You should be careful with these accents as they often fall on notes that are not on the beat as in bars 1, 3, 5 and 7 (0:05)

In the second half of the piece where the hands play the same tune in octaves, be sure that they are exactly synchronised with each other. (0:22)

Also be careful in bar 16 of the difference in note lengths (0:33) - the RH has a short staccato whereas the LH holds for the whole bar.
