How hard is it
An upper D pickup leads into a long line of descending eighths, while the lower staff initially rests. Listen for the phrase growing from that lone note inside the twelve-eight dance. Across 46 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth detail and 3 encoded voices. The source includes ornament signs. 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.
