History
This little march carries both a C. P. E. Bach catalogue identity and its older BWV appendix number. In the opening, repeated notes keep the march moving while another voice waits and then answers.

What to listen for
An inner pulse
A repeated-note voice continues while the upper voice begins with rests. Listen to that steady thread before following the later upper answer.
A moving middle
The upper eighth notes rise and turn while the bass uses longer values. Hear the two speeds together instead of making every note equally prominent.
How hard is it
An inner repeated-note line continues while the upper voice rests and answers; the bass has separate attacks. The two trills and cut-time pulse add coordination to a short dance.
