How to practise it
- Bring out the continuing line while keeping supporting activity quieter.
- Learn each musical line separately, then combine their different rhythms.
How hard is it
Level 6, estimated
Four independent voices over64 native measures require sustained balance and legato planning. The first P2 line continues when P1 enters, and the local6/4 declaration at measure21 needs attention before4/4 returns at22.
