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.
- Thirds fingering going up (RH): 1-3, 2-4, 3-5, then 1-3 again — 3 and 1 slide across together. For legato, keep at least one of the two voices perfectly connected (usually the top one). Both notes of each third must sound exactly together: practise slowly, listening.
