How to practise it
- Hold each upper phrase in mind while the lower hand repeats its pattern; avoid an accent every time the bass returns.
How hard is it
Level 3, estimated
The upper opening mixes quarter and half notes over lower eighth-note broken chords. The two-sharp signature, balance and independent shaping support an early-intermediate estimate.
