How hard is it

Level 8, estimated

The first A is followed by a quick upper oscillation over moving lower eighths. Hear the little flurry as part of the dance phrase. This source keeps both bourrees and its literal return together as one piece. Across 219 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.
