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.
Clear, articulated playing as on the harpsichord: slightly detach the quarters, connect the eighths. One hand sometimes plays two voices: hold the long notes for their full value and let the main line sing louder than the accompaniment. For chords, shape the hand in the air before landing, all notes together. Fast writing: work section by section in Wait mode, then in dotted rhythms, and raise the tempo in steps of 5–10%.
