History

Let the short opening lead naturally into the dance. Shape the upper phrase while the lower quarter notes give it a steady direction. This component ends at the source's Fine; the following K. 1f is already in the catalogue and is not another new work here.

How to practise it

  1. Practise the encoded lines separately, then combine them without losing their different rhythmic roles.
  2. Keep the sustained or singing line audible while making the supporting material lighter.

How hard is it

Level 3, estimated

Two upper pickup-like eighths lead to upper and lower quarter-note lines, with six tuplet-encoded notes later in this18-measure component. It is an accessible early-intermediate study, not a plain quarter-note-only beginner exercise.
