How to practise it
- Keep the opening upper neighbor figures smooth, then let longer melody notes settle while the lower quarter notes continue.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
The opening uses upper eighth-note neighbor figures against lower quarters in a two-flat signature. Changes in note length, phrase balance and two-hand coordination support an intermediate-entry estimate.
