I meticulously edited this piece in order to learn it on a

whole new level. I originally learned this piece some thirty
years ago at time when just getting the notes for me was
considered a success. With this edit I analyzed the work by
phrasing and the similarity between the voices. I also took
into account my flat hand technique as opposed to the curved
finger approach. I have added quarter note superpositions on
the beat(e.g.measures 4-6 right hand and 5- 7 left hand).
