How to practise this piece
Take it at 77 BPM first, then move up to 96 once the notes sit under your fingers.
What this piece trains
A short piece still deserves a complete reading, not a run from memory.
Where it usually goes wrong
Being short, it gets played from memory and the slurs and accents on the page are ignored.
Does it need shifting?
Range G3–B5; the top notes go beyond comfortable first position, so expect shifting or an extension.
Practice steps
- Mark the slurs and accents on the score before playing a note.
- Play once slowly and tick off each marking as you meet it.
