History

The lower pattern starts moving before the upper part answers. Similar shapes at changing heights let the prelude develop without losing its clear pulse.

How to practise it

  1. Connect the lower broken chord first, then add the upper replies after their rests without making every landing an accent.

How hard is it

Level 6, estimated

Offset upper entries and lower broken-chord figures travel through changing registers. Hand independence, grouping and a connected pulse support a moderate-intermediate estimate.
