Both staves sweep upward in sixteenth notes before the figures turn back on themselves. Treat the long pattern as a journey through registers, not a race.

How to practise it
- Practice the two ascending streams in small connected groups and prepare each change of register before increasing tempo.
How hard is it
Level 7, estimated
Continuous two-hand sixteenths cover several registers and turn into repeated neighbor figures. Evenness, sustained coordination and later key changes support an advanced study level.
