One of the more fun movements in the work. Big breath before you start off, relax, and be careful not to play it too loudly. The natural tendency is to get all wrapped up in the passage because you get the melody and just want to shout it out (there's not much of that in the whole thing, is there?) and you've been bouncing along like crazy on the Shadowfax rhythm.

Try it at mf and concentrate on a full, rather than loud, sound--if you start off too loud, you'll run out of breath and you'll also lose the effect of the crescendo to ff later on.
