March of the Lilliputians in G major

Donald Waxman

What's this piece like?
"March of the Lilliputians", as the title suggests, is defined by a magical, march-like atmosphere. The Lilliputians are men six inches in height but possessing all the pretension and self-importance of full-sized men. They are featured in Jonathan Swift's book "Gulliver's travel". Both hands keep the same position throughout the entire piece, making it a great example for elementary-level pianists. The right-hand plays the melody while the left hand accompanies with a succession of chords.
