How hard is it
The opening combines short notes, a leap and a tiny falling figure. The next measure places a related shape higher while another voice becomes active below it. Listen for the answering gesture within the two-half-note pulse. Across 56 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 4 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.
