How to practise it
- Keep the sustained or entering voice audible without making its supporting material heavy.
- Practise the encoded lines separately, then combine them while preserving their different rhythms.
How hard is it
Level 5, estimated
Only 16 encoded measures, but the opening has several voices and rapid thirty-second-note figures; compact length should not conceal the intermediate coordination required.
