Special Considerations:

Middle section of this piece (mm.32-36) makes it much more difficult. Opening and ending melody is very simple, but the middle has increased tempo and technical requirements. 32nd note triplets in middle section (becomes fast sextuplets with consistently changing arpeggios). 1 page
