How to practise it
- Practise the encoded lines separately, then combine them while preserving their different rhythms.
- Group the rapid written figures into small gestures before linking them into longer phrases.
How hard is it
Level 7, estimated
Opening sixteenth-note material over contrasting lower values and 120 encoded measures require sustained fluency; the written dotted-quarter metronome and sound tempo differ and must stay distinct.
