This score is an arrangement for easy violin with piano accompaniment.
It remains in the original key of C Major.
The violin part is appropriate for Grade 2 violin students.
It can be played entirely in the first position.
Although it is possible to play this piece in détaché, it will sound very nice if the violinist uses brushed spiccato in the lower half of the bow.
