History
Short broken-note gestures turn a small prelude into an energetic conversation. Let the lower pulse stay dependable while the upper figures rise and fall. This is a compact way to practise fluency without tackling a long movement.

How to practise it
- Shape each broken figure toward its arrival note instead of accenting every sixteenth.
- Choose a steady pulse first, then fit the written ornaments into that pulse.
How hard is it
Level 3, estimated
The first measures place sixteenth-note broken figures above a simpler quarter-note line. The 18-measure source contains 14 ornament elements, so light grouping and deliberate ornament placement matter more than speed.
