This is an intermediate level version of Satie's march inspired by the music of the ragtime era. It is a cabaret piece featuring the cakewalk rhythm which was popular in Paris around 1900. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested for this concise humorous piece dating from 1904. An alto saxophone part is appended to the full music score. 3 piano accompaniments are available playing at 92, 96 and 100 quarter note beats to the minute. Each has a 4 bar introduction indicating the tempo that sounds on a wood block. There is a one bar silent bar before the repeat of the A section.
