Additional information

According to the RSCDS Technique Q&A site, think of the loops on bars 19-22 as »dancing round an imaginary dancer standing in the destination corner, giving right shoulder and using two small skip-change of step«.

Anselm says: »The operative word in that explanation is small.«
