History

A small grace-note gesture introduces a singing Andante espressivo. The moving accompaniment should help the phrase breathe rather than compete with its expressive opening.

How to practise it

  1. Fit the opening grace note into the phrase without losing the longer note's place in the pulse.

How hard is it

Level 5, estimated

The opening combines a grace note, short-note decoration and longer values in three voices. Its lyrical balance and repeat handling support an intermediate estimate.
