How hard is it
The upper phrase mixes quarter notes, eighths and a tiny turn while a low F lasts beneath moving bass notes. Listen for the held foundation as well as the restless surface. Across 42 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 5 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.
