In this fun piece, notice how the treble and bass lines often move in opposite directions. In mm. 1–3, the right-hand downbeats move C♯–B–A, while the left-hand bass notes move A–B–C♯. Can you find the same contrary-motion pattern on line 2?

Scan the score for:

• Contrary-motion melodic contour
• Legato and staccato articulations
• Dynamics
• The octave shift in the final measure—practice this move until it feels easy.
