The short upper E opens into a decorated line while a separate inner voice holds longer notes. Hear those slower notes as a phrase of their own, not just support for the quick detail.

How hard is it

Level 8, estimated

The short upper E opens into a decorated line while a separate inner voice holds longer notes. Hear those slower notes as a phrase of their own, not just support for the quick detail. Across 49 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 6 encoded voices. This supports estimated level 8, not teacher approval or a copied publisher grade. Expanded source length and literal performance returns are not a reference printed-bar count.
