TEACHING NOTES
A particular difficulty of this piece is the different articulation between the hands of bars 1-8. Th LH slurs onto the second beat whereas the RH is staccato throughout ( 0:05 ) There are likely to be many students taking an ABRSM grade 1 piano exam who will incorrectly staccato this first LH note.

Be careful that the dotted rhythms  e.g. bar 2 ( 0:07 ) don't turn into triplets but that the semiquavers (sixteenth notes) retain the crispness of only a quarter of a beat.

Make sure to keep the rall. going to the last beat of bar 14 and also at the same point observe the LH rest ( 0:26 ), resuming "a tempo" only with the triplet in the next bar.

Another aid to a good interpretation would be to listen to the original operatic song such as https://youtu.be/8A3zetSuYRg?t=11s
