How to practise it
- Practice the upper melody alone, then add the repeating inner pairs softly while preserving each longer melodic value.
How hard is it
Level 9, estimated
A sustained upper melody overlaps continuous inner sixteenths and lower movement. Independent voicing and endurance make this a demanding concert study.
