How to practise it
- Sing or tap the opening subject alone before following it into the later texture.
How hard is it
Level 7, estimated
The opening single voice mixes half, quarter and eighth notes. Its source-presented five-voice fugue scope requires developed independent-line reading even though the first measures are sparse.
