The Can-can

Play this with gusto! The can-can is an energetic dance which includes high kicks, cartwheels and splits, so play it loudly and fast. There are in fact musical instructions in your sheet music about this: the fancy “f” at the beginning and between the staffs means play loudly, and the Italian word “Allegro” above the top staff means play quickly. Come to think of it, this would be a good piece to play to celebrate the New Year!
