Melody and left-hand roots

The melody as Rossini wrote it, with the left hand playing only the root of the harmony at the start of each bar. It keeps 155 of the piece's 320 notes and adds none: a sketch of the piece in its own notes, to read before the real thing. Level 2 of 7, where the piece as written is level 3.
