Short moving figures pass between the musical layers. Practise each line alone, then listen for its shape when other notes join it. A small piece can still ask for clear, independent fingers.

How to practise it
- Learn each musical line separately, then combine their different rhythms.
- Bring out the continuing line while keeping supporting activity quieter.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
The18 source measures include four voice parts, short running figures and chord members. Their overlapping activity needs coordination beyond a first single-line piece.
