Konrad Kunz, Op. 14, No. 21

Kunz makes it easy to maintain a clear pulse in 6/8 by including tenuto markings on each downbeat. Though written as a canon, both hands always have corresponding articulation markings. The alternation between legato and staccato is very important. Good voicing is another notable aspect. Students may want to follow the contour of each phrase with their wrists.
