How to practise it
- Keep the repeated opening pairs light and even, noting the source voice that crosses between staves before mapping it to hands.
How hard is it
Level 9, estimated
Rapid repeated figures, cross-staff voices, layered textures and later dynamic changes require expert coordination and endurance.
