At Henle 6 this is an advanced piece that assumes fluent technique and rewards mature interpretation. The main demands: independent voices that must each sing on their own line; fine finger independence within the hand; and ornaments that need to sound effortless, not squeezed in.
Beyond that, expect precise articulation — the difference between crisp and blurred is the piece, and chord voicing — bringing out one note inside a handful of others.
Maintaining clarity in the multi-voice texture requires precise finger control and meticulous articulation.
