01 / The first 30 seconds
30-second entrance
First hear the returning ground. A variation is not a new song; it is the same order under a different light.
00:00–00:45: follow only the bass pattern; do not chase every ornament.
02 / LISTEN FOR
Three things to wait for
- The bass returning like a floor
- How ornament shifts the center of weight
- Small humor inside strict order
