The low opening gesture quickly becomes a powerful chord response. Give those two moments different shapes so that the hunt-like image grows from the music rather than from uniformly forceful playing.

How to practise it

  1. Balance the opening chord response before connecting its short-note gestures.

How hard is it

Level 10, estimated

Very dense chord members, changing meters and Presto furioso articulation demand expert control.
