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.
• The thumb passes under right after finger 3 (RH going up) or finger 4 (LH going up): prepare it early. The elbow glides sideways with the hand; the wrist stays level. Each arpeggio should form a single arc of sound, with no “hole” where the thumb passes.
