This is a lively etude full of rhythmic and dynamic variety that navigates the entire range of the instrument.
Take care to perform as rhythmically precise as possible. With sixteenths, dotted rhythms, and triplets, careful subdivision is required. Work to keep all dotted rhythms from being influenced by triplet subdivisions.
Note the dynamic changes at the start of many sections and the indicated crescendos throughout. Strive to have as much contrast as possible from louder to softer dynamics and allow this dynamic palate to create as much drama and storytelling as possible.
Pay close attention to the timing and placing of the rests throughout this entire work. It is a common error to rush or speed up through these moments. Stay steady. Careful practice with a metronome will help ensure that the performer is exact with regard to pulse and time.
Another helpful practice tip is to record a performance and listen back. Can you clap or conduct a steady beat along with your recorded performance? Use these recordings as an opportunity to learn about your tendencies and make adjustments.
