Your challenge is to perform the Clock theme using as many of the
performance markings/directions you have discovered

You should play the theme several times, each time showcasing a particular
performance marking. Start with staccato and piano then move onto sf and
andante.

For markings such as arco and zu 2, this may be tricky on a keyboard think
about how you can do this creatively

The best examples will be recorded as a super revision resource!
