The challenging aspect of this Sarabande may be to minimize the blurring caused by the pedal on the 16th notes while connecting the appropriate voices. From measures 5 to 8, where the eighth notes in the lower voice of the treble clef are tied to the next beat, it is crucial to maintain the continuity of this line. To prevent any break in this voice, it is advisable to take this voice with the left hand. While doing so, be careful not to create a break in the bass line either.  

In situations where a break is unavoidable, use the pedal to connect the line. The blurring of the right-hand 16th notes that occurs then is somewhat unavoidable, but keep the blurring to a minimum.  

In the latter half, many 16th notes appear; especially from measures 21 to 23, pay attention to the blurring of the 16th notes and ensure that the two voices in the left hand are also continuous.
