History
A broad Adagio opening gives way to contrasting sections and changing meters. Listen for the recurring lyrical quality to connect those shifts rather than treating every new tempo as a separate piece.

How to practise it
- At the opening, keep the longer line continuous while the smaller notes move underneath it.
How hard is it
Level 9, estimated
Opening half-note layers coexist with moving eighth notes in three voices. Frequent meter changes, tuplets and dense pedal notation make its sustained balance an advanced task.
