What to listen for
Lively music meets minor-key episodes
Compare the lively passages with the contrasting minor-key episodes, hearing their change in character.
How to practise it
Prepare the upper octave calls after the lower chord introduction.
- Practise the pickup into the first two quarter-eighth units.
- Count the introduction, then practise one high-low-low G group quietly before increasing energy.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
La Chasse is a provisional lively-character target, with reliable pulse and controlled accents as learning priorities.
