William Babell was known for his flamboyant transcriptions of opera arias, and this prelude reflects that virtuosic style. It features rapid scalar passages and dense ornamentation typical of the London Baroque style.
Ensure the rapid sixteenth-note patterns are clear and executed with even fingering.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.

You should be comfortable at Henle level 5 — meaning you can already play level 4–5 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
