Teaching notes:
The staccato makings in this piece are very specific and very often in one hand but not in the other, for example the last note of bar 1 is staccato RH but NOT LH. In bar 2 it is the other way around.
In an ABRSM exam situation repeats are not needed, BUT make sure you have some contrast in dynamics between the 2 halves, e.g. 1st half mezzoforte and 2nd half forte
