History

The opening asks for a connected, placid sound. Several voices share the lower encoded staff, inviting careful balance instead of a simple melody-plus-accompaniment assumption.

How to practise it

Keep the overlapping opening voices connected without making every note equally strong.

How hard is it

Level 8, estimated

Multiple simultaneous lower-staff voices and later richer textures require advanced sustain and voicing.
