Also known as Suite in D Minor N° 8.
History
The opening establishes a measured triple-time dance. Numbered couplets later change the material, so listen for a balance between the returning idea and each new variation.

How to practise it
- Keep the opening upper paired notes balanced while the lower line continues its own motion.
How hard is it
Level 6, estimated
Overlapping half and quarter notes in three opening voices need clear balance. Repeats, changing signatures and five explicitly named couplets add reading and phrasing demands.
