What to listen for

  1. The running beginning

    The Presto Agitato opens with rapid sixteenth-note motion after a short rest. Hear the shape of the broken figure rather than giving every note a separate accent.

How hard is it

Level 8, estimated

Rapid opening sixteenth-note arpeggio motion, chordal arrivals and 202 encoded measures require sustained control and independent balance. This estimate is for the third movement, not the much easier opening movement.
