History

What to listen for
A leap receives a delayed answer
The upper line moves E, G, D and B, while the lower B/G pair enters after the first upper note. Listen for the melody's clear contour and the accompaniment arriving in its own space.
How to practise it
- Practise the upper leap sequence alone, then add the delayed lower pairs without changing the spacing of the melody.
How hard is it
The upper melody makes recurring leaps and changing-length events while lower pairs enter after it and overlap its motion. Register navigation and balance in a longer source timeline support an intermediate estimate.
