Nice challenge!

I only did measure 3 (plus partial of measure 2).
It is far from perfect (appoggiatura subdivided beam is a bit tricky
but unfortunately the beam slope is not good), but it should give you an
idea how to (try to) do it.  Some fingerings need some tweaking,
I have done some but some still need work.

Cheers,
Xavier
