How to practise it
- Practice the opening slowly with both hands together, then shape the upper line while keeping the lower one lighter.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
Both encoded staves begin in eighth-note motion and the source includes repeated crescendo directions. Coordinating two moving lines while shaping dynamics is more demanding than the earlier single-line studies.
