▶ 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.
• Strictly alternate i-m (or p for the basses) and spot the chord shapes hidden behind the notes; start slowly with the metronome. Work in four-bar sections before playing it through.
