Look and ListenLength: approx. 3¼ mins. Sounds best if the bass is doubled.
The Madison Square March is a bright cheerful straight-forward piece ideal for beginner/medium ensembles. The trio is quite interesting whereby the rhythm and melody sections exchange roles and play against each other. The cover of the original sheet music shows a Madison Square of 1895 vintage somehow charmingly quaint without the familiar high rise/skyscraper architecture of today.
The Madison Square March was published by M. Witmark and Sons, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, USA.
A tempo of 160 crotchets/min. is suggested.
