About the piece
The first of the six pieces of Op. 32, the set that closes with the famous Rustle of Spring.
A grotesque march is a deliberate contradiction: the march promises order and regular tread, while the qualifier undercuts it with lurching rhythms and awkward accents. The genre appealed to composers across the period, from Schubert's more sardonic moments through to Prokofiev.
This edition carries added fingering, the standard way such pieces were prepared for students in the period.
