Program Notes on King William's March by Clarke :

With its energy and character, this King William's 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 musical 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

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.
