History

Long opening chords introduce a later Allegro section. This easy piano version offers a route into the underlying concert work, but its exact simplification is part of the edition's identity.

How to practise it

  1. Let the opening half-note chords sound connected before working on the faster section.

How hard is it

Level 6, estimated

The opening is spacious, but the 182-measure edition changes tempo and texture; easy is a source label, not a beginner certification.
