History

A low pickup launches an agitated dance-like texture. The early switches between three and four beats make the phrase more flexible than a fixed marching pulse.

How hard is it

Level 9, estimated

Opening octave pairs, frequent early meter changes and extensive tuplets require advanced reading and pacing.
