How hard is it
The upper C moves through a tiny turn to a long E-flat. Under it, several voices hold their harmony. Hear the decorated note settling into the chord rather than rushing past the long arrival. Across 49 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 6 encoded voices. This supports estimated level 7, not teacher approval or a copied publisher grade. Expanded source length and literal performance returns are not a reference printed-bar count.
