History
A short pickup launches a bright, decorated keyboard movement. The tune's small turns and pauses matter as much as its forward motion. Let the supporting voices settle into the pulse before adding the upper line's quick details.

How to practise it
- Practise the pickup into the first complete measure as one musical idea.
- Keep the supporting voices even when the upper decorations change their grouping.
How hard is it
Level 5, estimated
The source begins with a sixteenth-note pickup, then interleaves multiple lower voices with upper eighths and sixteenths. Its 135 tuplet-encoded notes and 13 ornaments call for flexible grouping without losing the two-beat framework.
