That is a adagio in Portuguese that we say "Água mole em pedra dura, tanto bate até que fura". In English means "Soft water on hard rock, it hits so much that it makes a hole".

In my opinion, the best way to learn diminutions is to learn how to remove diminutions and create contrapunctus simplex. Then you go throughout your entire repertoire, and reduce it to its simplex skeleton. Finally, you bring back diminutions, but you use different ones. Figuration preludes are great for this exercise, because they are quite rich in harmony, but quite easy to play. Little Preludes by Bach and some of the easier preludes from the WTK. First you learn to play them as they are written. Then you reduce them by removing all diminutions and play them as simple Generalbass accompaniment. You can even write them down as partimenti, meaning just the bass and the figures. Then you can apply diminutions from one prelude to a different one, mix them all up, figure out what works and what doesn't. In time, you'll have a repertoire of diminution patterns that you can apply almost anywhere, and hopefully, your creative mind will come up with new ones, too.
I like this method of stripping down the main melody, a kind of "reverse engineering". One day I picked up the first minuet from Anna Magdalena Bach's note book, that in F major. I had a surprise when I striped down into only the main notes on the beats 1, 2 and 3 and I realized that minuet can be studied as a partimento and we can sing the melody and the bass as a hexachordal solfeggio as well.

Thank you very much for answering my question!
