Hi everyone,

Currently working on this. Since it's XMAS time, I don't really have to option for lessons until the school years starts again - so I would like your opinions! My edition is the Darok one from Germany.

I would like to ask how one interprets the rhythms in the opening section of this piece. Sometimes I get a little confused with the print. For example in the third line, after the fermata, there are 32nds. Before the 32nds, there are triplets and what I would interpret as triplet 16ths. My question is - does this piece switch from 4/4 to 5/8 in this section particular section without being notated? Keep in mind that there are no bar lines until the 3/4 section in bar 5. I would assume that it does go from a 4/4 time signature to a 5/8 or 6/8 or whatever 8 as it is hinted toward the middle of the first page where the eighth note pulse remains the same.

If you have studied or performed this piece please let me know your thoughts! I don't want to listen to too many recordings and end up copying (it is also marked rubato and different people have different ideas about that)- I would like some justification. Thanks very much. =)

Le
