How to practise it
- Make the two notes of each opening pair sound together, then bring out the top note without striking the whole chord harder.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
Both staves open with repeated two-note quarter-note chords and later change their shapes. Simultaneous attacks, connected chord changes and top-note balance make this a moderate coordination challenge.
