Practice Tips and Points
First, practice the right-hand sixteenth notes at a slower tempo, aiming for an even touch. Keep the left-hand chords light—support the texture without making the sound heavy, and watch the volume balance.
When putting both hands together, don’t let the left hand pull you off course; keep the right-hand flow steady.
For the final polish, raise the tempo slightly and keep the touch light for a sparkling, impressive performance.
