Make the pickup feel like an invitation into the phrase. Hold the longer support while the decorated upper material moves. A composed, spacious touch can keep the texture clear without making the dance stiff.

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 6, estimated
The first full measures combine rapid upper decoration, chord members and held lower values; 22 dense measures with 13 ornaments make this an intermediate voicing and coordination study.
