This short etude for snare drum features very mellow and smooth passages, with phrasing that feels introspective and atmospheric. Much of the piece develops through quiet dynamics, which creates a soft, intimate character. At the same time, it challenges the performer with rhythmic changes and uncommon tuplets, including layered 5:6 and 7:6 groupings as well as passages that shift between dotted sixteenth-note pulses and irregular tuplet feels. The constant interplay between buzz rolls, grace-note textures, and hand-to-hand figures reflects a personal interpretation of Be My Mistake, blurring the line between groove and free-flowing rubato.
