History
A long upper sixteenth-note figure starts alone. In the next measure, the lower staff begins its own quick line beneath changing upper notes. Hear the momentum passing between registers, not just one long run.

How hard is it
A long upper sixteenth-note figure starts alone. In the next measure, the lower staff begins its own quick line beneath changing upper notes. Hear the momentum passing between registers, not just one long run. Across 108 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 5 encoded voices. This supports estimated level 9, not teacher approval or a copied publisher grade. Expanded source length and literal performance returns are not a reference printed-bar count.
