History

A broken-chord figure begins above a steady lower pulse, then changes musical layers. Practise the shared pattern in each line before putting the voices together.

Sources

How to practise it

  1. Keep the broken-note cell even as it moves between registers.
  2. Practise the musical layers alone, then preserve their different rhythms together.

How hard is it

Level 4, estimated

Sixteenth-note chord patterns in P1measure1 move to P2measure2, while the bass repeats F. Fifteen native measures and four separate voice parts call for clean coordination; provider bar14 arpeggio note remains a source statement, not an app mapping.
