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.
- Fingers close to the keys, clear articulation without hitting: speed comes from evenness. Start at 60 to the quarter, then go up 4 at a time on the metronome. Bars 6 and 10 (contrary motion): both hands use the same finger numbers at the same time.
