History
A quiet low-register opening leads into flowing accompaniment and overlapping lines. Let the melody emerge from that movement rather than pushing every note forward. Later written tempo headings mark changes of character in this long piano piece.

How to practise it
- Let the melodic line remain audible over supporting movement.
- Support the phrase with light, even moving accompaniment.
How hard is it
The pickup and first numbered measure already combine held notes, flowing eighths and several encoded voices across two staves. The source spans 368 written positions with signature changes, tuplets and varied tempo words, making sustained balance a substantial advanced task.
