With its energy and character, this March in D Major is a great favorite amongst young piano students.

Clarke's King William's March was composed during the Baroque period and has a simple A-A-B-B form :

  • Mm. 1-8 : Part A (played twice) in the key of D Major
  • Mm. 9-16 : Part B (played twice) starts in the dominant key of A Major, modulating back to D Major in measure 11

Program Notes : Please take note of the following points concerning the appropriate Baroque music performance practice for this March :

  • Most quarter notes in both the left and right hands should be played slightly detached


  • Cadential trills are required in measures 7 and 15, even though not indicated by Jeremiah Clarke


  • Also, in such final cadences, all dotted quarter notes should be double dotted, so that the eighth note following the dotted quarter note becomes a sixteenth note


  •  For better clarity, the editor has included in this score a suggested realization for these two cadential trills (which English composers called shakes).


  • Jeremiah Clarke, like all other composers of the Baroque era, did not provide any dynamics in his autograph score. Hence the dynamics given in this score are editorial.
