With a driving tempo range, the exercise serves as a coordination builder, balancing endurance with consistency of touch, and preparing players for more advanced literature.
The sticking patterns evolve from straightforward paradiddles into more complex groupings, with accents shifting within the phrase. Success in this piece depends on careful attention to micro-phrases — the smaller rhythmic ideas within each measure that need to be shaped for clarity and flow. This teaches performers to think beyond the sticking and focus on phrasing, accent placement, and continuity of motion.
