Counterpoint: The primary challenge is maintaining the independence and clarity of the two voices, with one hand imitating the other. Students must learn to project the "subject" (the main motif) clearly as it is passed back and forth between the hands. Articulation: Appropriate Baroque articulation is key. This generally means a light, non-legato touch, with thoughtful use of slurs and staccatos to define the phrasing. Some editions may offer editorial suggestions for articulation. Fingering: Careful organization of fingering is crucial, especially for the rapid 32nd notes that make up the main motif. A good legato fingering is often recommended, even if the final articulation is non-legato, as it helps connect the intervals. Ornamentation: While there are no trills, the repeated turn figure is the piece's central ornament. Students must play it cleanly and rhythmically. Structure: The piece follows a logical structure, similar to a fugue, with subject presentations separated by episodes that develop the musical ideas. Understanding this structure can help with memorization and overall interpretation. Musical dialogue: A good performance will balance the intellectual structure with expressive clarity, highlighting the intricate conversation between the two voices.
