How to practise it

  1. Keep the opening tune clear above the lower-register support without making every note equally strong.

How hard is it

Level 4, estimated

The opening uses mainly quarter and eighth notes across several voices, with occasional chord members and no encoded tuplets. Sustained melody balance, not rapid passagework, sets the proposed intermediate level.
