The course begins with a very accessible version for beginners, then gradually evolves towards a rich and powerful interpretation that will even challenge advanced pianists. Beginners can stop at any time when it becomes too difficult and repeat the latest mastered version to conclude on a nice note.

This arrangement, carefully worked, retains all the complexity and subtlety of the original score, ideal for collaborative performances.
