History

A quiet paired-note pickup starts a lightly moving study. The dolce instruction helps keep its quick figures expressive rather than hard-edged.

Match the paired pickup attacks and carry their gentle character into the next measure.

Level 8, estimated

Paired sixteenth notes and fuller chord material require advanced evenness and articulation.
