About this piece
This piece has many elements typical of the baroque period: dense and dramatic in character, uneven form, and daring harmonic contrasts. It is also a great exercise in light fingers and broken chords for the right hand.

It could be a good match if you're an intermediate pianist with a solid foundation and strong technique.
