▶ Play this piece with the interactive score

How to practise it

• Listen first: the site plays it while the score scrolls.
• Wait mode: the score waits for you at every note, at your own pace.
• Tempo challenge: play in time, with a score and a map of the bars you got right.
• Plant your fingers on their strings and keep the triplets perfectly even; bring out the top note when it carries the melody. Settle all fingerings first (both hands), then raise the tempo step by step.
