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.
• Bring out the melody (ring finger, rest stroke if possible) above the arpeggios played lightly with i and m; the thumb holds the basses. Work in four-bar phrases before playing it through.
